Worst joystick you ever had?

[Greebo]

Many years ago my first HOTAS stick was a Thrustmaster and I hated it. Coming from a CH two button stick I found the pivoting action had no feel and was nowhere near as smooth, with the springs clanking as they came under tension. In the end I grafted the pistol grip with all its extra buttons and hat onto the CH stick base and got something I could be happy with. This lasted me until CH brought out the Fighterstick Pro.

I sure wish CH would produce new sticks - same idea in terms of the smoothness and ease of throwing them around, but with newer tech sensors (I realize there are +/- with both hall and pots sensors), maybe a newer/different design, but stick with their overall idea.  They could sure use a new throttle that's for sure, pedals as well, I'd be happy with a Fighterstick with hall sensors in it myself.

Too bad the original owner sold CH, he seemed to truly care, AkAk worked for him IIRC, and since that sale, they've really done a nose dive.  No more selling parts, awful work on the inside of many new sticks, and so on.  Terrible customer service response times, and once those responses come, they rarely have anything good to say.
