Re: Favorite analog joysticks?

Are the flight sticks the ones that used to come in the kits? We still have a bunch that we've been using over the past couple years in order to avoid the ones they've been giving us in recent years. The new ones seems a little better but the older ones centered quicker without springing back and forth.

for Example: take a new joystick and push it all the way to one side and let it go. notice how much it bounces before resting. Imagine how ridiculous your robot would look reacting to the bounce.

of course having more buttons may come in handy, but i think drve control is number one when it comes to picking a joystick.
