(after finding a good control scheme it was much better in Mechwarrior 2, but then, it simulated a different kind of vehicle, a mech is more easily controlled with a stick than a car is, I should try again I'76 once I buy a wheel).

Mechwarrior games were best with mouse/keyboard.

I need access to all my firing groups (if I want to chain) as well as jump jets, coolant flush, and the rest.  A joystick could handle movement, but I still need buttons for all of those.

 

I played MW2:mercenaries twice, the first time with keyboard + MS Sidewinder Precision Pro joystick, and years later, after that joystick died two weeks after warranty expired , I played it again with keyboard + Logitech Wingman Extreme 3D, both joysticks have 3-axes + throttle + a lot of buttons, so I could do most with the stick (X and Y for turret and Z for movement direction) and use the kb for less used functions.

Although less reliable, MS stick had the advantage of having a button that doubled other buttons' functions, but for main functions the Logitech one has better ergonomics. Regarding car driving games, now I want to buy a good wheel anyway, as if I can beat "arcade" racing games with the stick, I can't with realistic ones.
