Way easier. If you really like it, and think you will stick with it a while,
do yourself a favor and get a decent joystick at the least, or a joystick
and throttle combo.
I have the TM Cougar, modded with a gimball mod and hall sensors, along with
the TM Elite rudder pedals, would not recommend this type of setup if your
just getting into it.
CH makes a good system, and they also make a flight yoke that may be more to
your liking. If the majority of your flight simming will be with FSX, might
want to seriously look at the yoke.
I understand the Saitek X-52 is pretty good as well. You might want to
start out on something not so expensive, use it a while, then if your going
to be serious about flight simming, you can always move up from that.
Good luck,

Trying to fly Flight Simulator with the keyboard is like trying to drive a
car with your feet.

Virtually impossible. Even the cheapest stick, or one off a dump will be
better!
