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.

Also the grips are not the same.

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

Or.......

Hydra yoke > Star Wars Yoke

And Sometimes

Hydra yoke < Star Wars Yoke

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.

Kremmit and Chad cleared this up for me.  Thanx to all who replied!
