If by "everyday" you mean "just don't care and want a cheap joystick", then yes. But I have evaluated the "Zippyy" (not the switch manufacturer of similar name) sticks and chose not to carry them on my store, unless I can figure out a way to fix them. They are "clicky and sticky", and I'm not sure I could recommend them. Maybe with new switches, new spring, more / different lube for the pivot and / or a lot of use, the feel of them might improve. But out of the box.....bleah.
