Curious why you don't like the Warthog? Been using mine for about a year and works well.

I'll add my Warthog input as well. I've had 3 buttons on the stick fail me and the wiring inside the stick base has severed itself twice. Had to break it apart and re-solder the thing back together both times. The way they route the wiring is a terrible design.
Mine used to be a little rough/ sticky on fine movements until I broke it apart, sanded and greased it all up inside, and now it's very smooth.
Also, TM has horrible customer service and a replacement button switch will cost you $39 shipping on top of the $8 for the new switch. Shipping is from France to USA as they don't keep any replacement parts in the US.
I'm using a CH Fighterstick now and prefer it to the much more expensive Warthog.
