If a joystick's calibration changes (they're not exactly new, and I'm already noticing drift), or a joystick is replaced, I'd have to do it all over again.
That is a good idea, though; I'd just rather not calibrate them in software.
Thanks for the help.
Edit: To clarify, I think it's the "correct" solution, but I also think that it's more difficult to maintain than my "solution."

But you aren't calibrating the joysticks, your calibrating the
victors.
To fix the joystick drift issues, designate a button that, when pressed, makes the current value the new center and, thus, send 127. Offset from center determines offset from 127.
