Price. Economy. Halls only for stick x and y (FFB )...

He does? Didn't know. Didn't see - yet...

Those spikes are way too big - and just imagine: We would not notice them until the cable really brakes - after warranty has expired...

More likly is it is a typical pot spike that spikes in voltage in a direction oposite of what your currently at and thus apears to be a reversal of sort

Maybe... When I fix R1 and R2 I could test a high quality poti on the logitech controller... and report here

Just went to his website: All but his main page report 404. Obviously he's reconstructing... IIRC *all* his board BU0836, A , and X support the A1302KUA-T Hall sensors directly. I've just ordered some. We'll see.
