Update: problem is random keystrokes, and perversely seems related to HTC's inhouse calibration program, I don't think it reads the attack throttle right, dunno if I can overcome that.
And to the comment, get rid of wife.
read again the part about her bringing in 85% of the household income, yeah that would be sheer genius to dump her  
(Must be the new math, drives kids crazy I hear)

If you don't use the thrustmapper software do the buttons on your stick and throttle show up as regular ole buttons in the windows calibration?  It wouldn't be as functional, but if it did, you could just set up the buttons with the mapper in AH.

pvzg,

I think I speak for everyone here when I say you need to be more independent.  

Honestly though, there are a million solutions to your problem. Many of them pretty strightforward and easy.

If your wife says, "NO MORTAL! YOU MAY *NOT* HAVE THAT SLIGHTY BETTER THAN STANDARD AND HIDEOUSLY INEXPENSIVE JOYSTICK!"

Then you need to:

A) Go get it anyway. (Like she'll notice a few extra dollars on the credit card bill.)
B) Break the other one in a more 'significant' manner. Then lay on the guilt while you desperately try and fix it. (Only works if your wife has a conscience.)
C) Pay for it yourself.
D) Learn to use the mouse...

C and D are workable, A and B?
My wife is a general manager for a restaurant,
she notices CC bills in her sleep, and being a GM, of course she surrendered her humane side when taking the job, (ask her employees)
Kidding aside, I agree with her that putting aside a costly joystick to buy another costly joystick on account of one game is not in the families best interest.
I'm gonna struggle on for a while, see what I see, Thanks for advice though,

What lasse said .. MS-Precision Pro never had a single glitch ,and it's still as responsive as it was at the first day (the centering mechanic has a bit more play tho after 2 years of constant use...

Buy a 10 dollar K-mart joystick


Seriously.  It's dirt cheap and is better than using a mouse.
