Use JoyTester 2 to test your joystick output.

Some joysticks produce spikes on the same axis you are moving, some produce spikes on say ailerons when you pull vator. I take this software to a shop when I am selecting a joy.

Example of how it works


Pretty smooth spiral in this case means it is a good joystick.

It may be a case the program works only with device #1, try disconnecting all other joystick except the one you are testing if this is the case.

Also you can see spikes in Saitek control panel on the deadzones page when they get really bad.
