Both plugged in at the same time?...Yes. You can assign the 'extra' buttons and axis available on the second joystick.

With both connected they will both be recognized, and available as seperate assignments, in the sims.

With both connected, the sim will assign default actions to both, so you'll probably end up with duplicate assignments, causing conflicts. You'll have to (re)assign the buttons and axis for each.

Set up your 'primary' stick. On the 'secondary' joystick be sure to delete the X, Y, (and Z) axis assignments so they don't conflict. You can assign it's remaining buttons and axis. (You can also re-assign the X, Y, and Z if you can find a use for them.)

If you don't want to assign the second joystick, just plug in one at a time. If you prefer to leave both plugged in, delete all of the assignments for the 'unused' joystick.

Edit-for example, my second joystick is an old Logitech that I have cobbled to use a rudder pedals. Makes crosswind landings and flying helicopters possible.
