Older joysticks c/w USB may not work correctly. I had to order the one shown in the DJI GCS manual which I have been told works 100%. It will work well in simulation mode but not sure how often one would require to use it in GCS real flight mode since the main point of GCS is to upload a waypoint and let it go in full autonomous mode.... Keep your RC radio system available at all times to takeover control of your MR in the event that your PC system falters.
