This game is played with keyboard and mouse. The gameplay is 2-dimensional, so arrows are all that you need really to fly.

It is possible to configure some joysticks for any game you wish but it would take some tinkering.

nothing that hasnt already been said,
darkspace is not designed for joystick control, strictly a keyboard and mouse affair. IF your stick comes with software that will allow you to map keyboard/mouse functions to stick buttons, then it is possible (but not probable) that you could use a stick. and then even if you do get it set up that way, there are no guarantees about how well it will work

Some joysticks are provided with software to bind buttons and directions to keys.
(representing the same keys as on your keyboard.)
In the past i had my joystick configured to rotate Shields (ICC only. Duh.)

I tried to play Darkspace with a 9 button gamepad (not including arrows), not that good, especially since you dont have to hold down a button to go for a certain direction

This program:

Might help with using a generic Joystick or remapping its functions to emulate keyboard input.
