Would using it with a mouse provide reasonable scan practice, or do I need
to buy a yoke or joystick?

IMO, if you can find a cheap yoke (CH Yoke on eBay or via comparison web
shopping), consider purchasing it as it will take away the majority of the
difficulty in controlling the sim aircraft while you are practicing your
scan. Second would be a joystick and third would be the mouse. The keyboard
completes the list of easiest-to-most difficult control of the sim aircraft
while practicing your scan.
