Do yourself a favor and ditch the stick !! I began playing Quake with a gamepad and was convinced to switch to kboard/mouse after a few months. I spent an hour+ running into walls looking at my feet, but after that I soon learned how to adapt. I had screwed up my mlook tho and still used the kboard to look up and down .. a huge tactical disadvantage, but I did surprisingly well even using that handicapped method.
Just try it, its such a HUGE difference in the control fluidity. Sticks and gamepads are soooo flight sim 90's ....
