yes, you can use any stick! i have an xbox stick and i use it on pc with chankast with a converter and redcl0ud's great drivers(redcl0ud.net).
just buy any stick you like(for ps/2, xbox(w/ converters), pc), and once you have em working on your pc, they should definitely work with chankast.
a dc stick should work too with the right adapter/drivers.
goodluck
