Don't go too 'cheap-o' on joysticks (if you can find a choice). I bought some, and found that the resistance did not start at the same value, did not stop at the same value (as the CH). and the composistion of the resistance was so bad that it would change as the OI read the value. The spring-return-to-neutral, didn't, at least, not consistently.

The CH sticks are really quite good !
