MS Sidewinder Calibration

Has anyone ever been able to correctly calibrate a Microsoft Sidewinder joystick? In the dashboard, the inputs are somewhat erratic. Both axes change when I move the joystick forward and back. Other places on ChiefDelphi say it's impossible to program it because the sidewinder uses some sort of auto-centering optical encoder.

But I have seen an FRC team use Sidewinders before. If anyone knows how to calibrate or use a Sidewinder on an FRC robot, could you please help?
