I'm curious to know where you are getting your information from?

1mm of movement? Have you actually used a game pad?

Again, were are you getting your "Facts" from? It makes sense to use a joystick to fly an autonomous plane. It is the closest thing to the controls in an actual military aircraft. Need I remind you a gamepad has two joysticks with, contrary to your opinion, almost an inch of travel.

I believe you have the right to develope your own opinion. I would suggest it be based on actual experience and facts.
