THIS is the joystick Anton should be considering for PS3 if he wants PC flightstick support.

Non-contacting hall-effect sensor - nothing to wear out. 16,000 distinct values on all the axis.

If you want NO deadzone and pinpoint accuracy for 40 bucks (Walmart.com) - this would be perfect on the PS3.

That does look very nice, other than the throttle.
One thing that always sets off alarms for me is when something has "ambidextrous design". That means compromise, and it's one reason the Aviator is crappy. I wish we had more options, and my 360 has a lot less than the PS3 even.

On their website, it shows attachment moulded piece to switch from left to right handed - so it might be better than the av8r design for comfort.

For 40 bucks, if it's as accurate as the claim (shoddy accuracy it what sucks most about cheap sticks) then it will be the ultimate cheap stick - I can see some mods being made out of this thing.
