Re: The best joystick?

If you don't like the KoP joysticks, just replace the handles with much lighter ones and all your "bouncy" problems are solved. The standard, non- ambidextrous handles weigh a lot, which causes the joystick to become "bouncy". By using lighter handles, the KoP joysticks will instantly spring back to center if released. Voila, problem solved!

Team 228 has used custom handles for the KoP joysticks for the past two years. Once you replace the handles with lighter ambidextrous ones, they perform quite well.





You can read a lot more about this, and the process used to make these handles here in this post. (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...48&postcount=3)
