You're almost right!  I had purchased a pair of "precision joysticks" from
Electronic Goldmine.  These seem to be good quality as the mechanism is very
smooth and seemingly reliable.  But I would expect they need to be de-bounced!

I have a complete set as well, but haven't been able to get the time to scan
all of them (Hoping for a few snow days this winter (;^) ).  If you have
seen such a beast, a issue # reference would be greatly appreciated!
