If you don't like the white ones and lack flightsticks, try unscrewing and removing the white one's handle and just use the little black stem it is connected to. You don't have to cut anything and can easily reassemble the stick if you decide you don't like the feel. If you actually decide to use a handleless joystick, I would (and did) cut the wires and replace the handle with something touch longer (like a short piece PVC pipe) with some kind of grippy material attached to it. You can put in different springs, but I would try just switching out the handle first.
