you can use mouse~ but in general, i wouldnt EQ with a joystick.. maybe a control pad?
Maybe a razer Tartarus? I had one when I was playing wow. It is amazing. My hands are pretty small, so it was *just* a little big for me

Update, I purchased the Tartarus V2. Still getting use to it but it does allow me not to be stuck in one position for long periods (medical reasons).
I'm not sure of terminology but I bought the mechanical one it is a little noisy on clicks.
Like Sic said it is a little big.

If its any help I have had 2 of these and each one burnt out a USB port on multiple machines. Proceed with caution.
You might want to try a Razer Nostromo (formerly Nostromo SpeedPad N52, formerly Nostromo SpeedPad N50).
A good while ago (as in pre /melody) I raided on a Bard. At the time (PoP), discussions among bards were how to avoid carpal tunnel syndrom from the 11 22 33 44 twisting for hours on end. (Scary, but that rythm is still in my left hand ...).
Based on several recommendations, I picked up a Nostromo SpeedPad N50, and never looked back. I bought the N52 when it came on, and I am currently using the Razer Nostromo - the form-factors are the same. The picture below is of a Nostromo N52, but the Razer Nostromo looks the same, but with updated driver software.
I have the movement keys mapped to the Thumb wheel, and use the Thumb pad to start/stop walking/running (the button presses L - mapped to start/stop running in EQ, IIRC).
FWIW, I have mapped small macros to the Pointer wheel/ridge to go Up/Down/Press to jump to specific toons (Ctrl-Alt-1, Ctrl-Alt-2, etc.), or just one for Alt-Tab when appropriate.
Of course, you have the whole (small) keyboard that can be mapped to any specific key, Function key, macro, etc.

While this is not a Joystick, I have found it very comforable for almost ~20 years now -- wife bought me the last one when I complained that I could not play EQ without it - love her much -- my best EQ Partner ever :-)
Good luck!

steamdeck / steam controller works fairly well with some customization, my profile should be listed as "shm wip" if you search for it under the "EverQuest Free To Play" listing on Steam, I only bothered to set up a spell wheel for the first 6 spell gems because everything else is reliably eaten up by multibinds/macros on all the chars I dare play on steam deck
regrettably there's no good way to permanently set up the right stick as the look-stick, it will default to a mouse cursor so you will have to get in the habit of holding whatever shoulder button is bound to right click when turning your camera around
