As others have already said practise, practise, practise. Helicopters are not easy to fly when you start out but really enjoyable and rewarding once you start to develop the necessary skills.
I would suggest initially concentrating on picking up off the ground into a stable hover as a starting point. I.e. raise the collective slowly. As the helicopter starts to be come light on the skids and starts to move around (yaw, roll and pitch) gently apply the appropriate control input to counteract and cancel-out the movement. If you take your time and practise this you should leave the ground and need minimal corrects on the controls to maintain a steady hover.
Doing this will start to build up on your muscle memory; you will start to understand and appreciate the tiny control inputs you need and also the relative position of your controls. When you come in to land you will come to realise that your controls will end up back in this position once you transition from flight, back into a hover taxi and slowing to a steady hover.
Understanding, some of the basics of helicopter flight, e.g. appreciating the primary and secondary effect of controls will give you a good grounding. If you look on YouTube for “Helicopter Lessons in 10 Minutes or Less”, you will find a whole series of short clips that explain things very well - worth a look.
Flying a helicopter is also considerably easier in either VR (if you are already used to VR) or improved with head tracking e.g. TrackIR. Staring at a monitor with a fixed POV will be somewhat of a hinderance. Likewise using a hat switch to look around is not ideal.
