Hello retrogaming!
I’m looking for advice on a simple joystick that will work well on my Win PC for arcade games in MAME and other games like Road Redemption.
I tried this: https://www.8bitdo.com/arcade-stick/
but didn’t really think it is worth $90. And more complicated than I need.
Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Make one with a bunch of arcade buttons and an RP2040 running the GP2040 firmware:
However, having done this, you will learn NOT to cheap out on buttons. Cheap Chinese clone buttons absolutely suck. Once you buy a set of proper arcade buttons or keyboard switches, plus a bit of wire, you’ll have spent as much as the 8BitDo stick costs anyway.
