ok, so i too got the leo bodnar generic game controller and mapped in onto my y and x axis of the yoke. and i guess if logitech went ahead and used similar controllers in their product, it would cost them a tiny fraction of what i paid for the bodnar thing, which was around 50 euros, shipping and additional cables included. and it works like a charm. precise, no deadzone at all, that’s how it’s supposed to be. i threw out the ridiculous springs as well and replaced them with rubber bands.
huge shame on logitech. huge shout out to the community which offers actionable solutions, like this
