The joysticks provided in the Kit are rather "bouncy" and don't quickly center themselves when released.
Many teams prefer the feel of the old CH Flightsticks that used to be provided by FIRST, but are regretably no longer in production. There happen to be
two on eBay right now. The key is that the replacement joystick must connect via the "Gameport" connector, and not USB, as most joysticks do these days.
Good luck!
