We use pre2004 joysticks from the CanadianFirst robotics comp. that my school was involved with in 2002, and they work wonders! (black ones)

Re: Standard Joysticks

One of our team's members incorporated the controls of two typical joysticks into one model airplane control...works great

Re: Standard Joysticks

Or, you can go cheap, and do what my team did. Calibrate your joysticks then put ducktape on the wheels so nobody can change them by accident. By the way Why do they give us right-handed joysticks?

Re: Standard Joysticks

Have you considered customizing the KOP joysticks? Most of their issues can be solved mechanically. By either creating custom handles or adding/altering the springs in the base/handle itself, you can also stiffen it up. I discussed customizing the either the KOP joysticks of the old CH Flightsticks in these two posts:

I've gotton so many requests for more information about our team's 2005 operator interface, I think I should just write a white paper about customizing joysticks. But that might have to wait until after the ship date though...
