Is a resolution of 440 (precision = a quarter percent) really insufficient? I wonder what other joysticks deliver...

For the interchangeable base info:

Resolution does matter, especially when you've extended the stick. You also notice it much more when zoomed in to the gun sights.

Resolution wise, MSFFB2 & X52 has 10bit (~1000). I believe G940 has 12bit.
T1600m & Warthog has 12bit interpolated to 16.

Also, please note that having higher res doesn't mean good accuracy if the mechanical gimball sucks.

This is why I now consider MSFFB2 & G940 inaccurate because of their stepper motors. You can never make smooth outputs with these sticks (google joytester graphs). x52 is useless due to non-linearity of output till it's modded.

Warthog has a center detent, but it has no dead zone, and my controls never wobbles since the gimbal system (when properly greased) is pretty smooth.

I hope this Paccus stick will do away with the stepper motor's detent effects.
