I think it is just a rotary joystick |

It's not a true rotary. It's a Xybots stick. The true rotary sticks will spin in a circle, much like a spinner. Xybots used a twist stick on the dedicated machines that let you turn 90 degrees left or right by twisting the stick far enough to hit the switches on the add-on card. It will only go far enough to hit those switches. That gives you a 3-axis digital stick. |

Is that correct or does it just use the leafs on the switches to ping it back? |

I'm not sure WHAT makes them return to center, but they do. |
