renew CH stick?

The potis look standard. In which country do you live?

IIRC they're a bit different to the usual electronics store pots, they have a larger sleeve (no threads on it), and the flat is cut further into the shaft than normal. The sleeve and flat are critical, as the sleeve fits into the stick's base, and the shaft needs to fit into the gimbal.

I did my first HE sensor conversion on my old macADB flightstick pro, by modifying the pots, but it ended up being too temperamental, and non-linear.

temperamental and non linear is something you probably could fix with joycontrol.
which potis did you buy?

I didn't buy any, I modified the ones from my old flightstick pro, then gave up and found a better HE sensing method, and made a completely new stick. (Not to say that others haven't made excellent HE modifications to the CH pots, it's just that I didn't!)

Unfortunately the tempermentality was half due to mechanical free-play (of my first mod). Also the middle region of stick movement was vastly less sensitive than the extents, which is what a lot of people (including myself, back then) want, but there was nothing I could do to bring the sensitivity back in software.

Having learnt a few things, I ended up with the stick in my sig.
