I don’t myself use a joystick for any sim or game but ANY controller that makes use of HALL EFFECT devices [as opposed to pesky potentiometers] is - all other things being equal - a much superior product!
Back in the day, I used to build effects pedals [for use with my guitar] using HED’s!
So much better than pots! Reliable configuration and no wear!
Regards.
Addendum:
Of course, when I say ‘all other things being equal’, that must also include the price!
