I have a Hydra controller I picked up super cheap... Its close but not the same.  It scales the Y axis so there is more detail in the middle of the screen... and the springs had a very different feel to them (stronger).  I ended up removing the springs and this helped a LOT... Now I want to put a weaker spring without the very very noticable 'center'.  I also am looking at how I could change the Y axis so that it would not scale (its not two gears together... but a pipe connected to another).

That was from a really old thread about yokes in general.

Another way to answer this question is:  It'll play Star Wars, but it won't feel or look 100% authentic.

Each can be used to play the other, IIRC, but as said above they are not mechanically identical.  They have all the same functions on all of the same axes.
