What Joysticks (the raw mechanics with pots) are available at the moment?
I've seen a lot of Joysticks which are self centered with springs, and
rubber
cover. Problem is, when you remove the springs, the rubber is often too
stiff so you still get some sluggish self centering action near the center
position.
Are there any joysticks available right now which don't have this problem?
