Talking Re: Question about Joysticks

I have found that going to CH products OEM division you can get the 100k potentiometer josticks and wire them yourself with the 15-pin connector that they do sell. The only thing is that you have to find a distrubutor, and they are super small(thumb controls). They also have no buttons and you have to mount them to something. Our team used them this year and they worked awesome. No wobble in the center.
