The F-16C had such a rigid stick. It didn't move at all.

Funny enough when the Thrustmaster Cougar was released a lot of people ranted the stick moved, while the original was static and you can indeed buy a mod which replaces the gimbals with a system that only senses the forces on the stick, but renders the stick itself immobile. Realistic for the F-16, but there are only a handful of planes using this method.

As posted above, the pilots didn't like it for the little feel.
