Well, it appears to me from reading the info on the site that it isn't high resolution. I think it is a 9x9 matrix, similar to the 7x7 matrix of the 49 ways. It seems that it would have 4 sensitivity levels in each direction, where the 49 way has 3. Seems like a step up, but not huge. I hope I am way off on this and it has a very high resolution, though.

Is there any chance you could get these to work with PSX and Xbox as analog sticks?  I mean I guess you could hook them up to the I-Pac and use the console adapters but will they function in true analog mode if you do that or will they still only be simulated analog?

Fortunately you are way off on this! The stick is a full analog solution. In fact the internal resolution is so high that it has to be divided by 16 before sending to the PC to comply with the standard for analog gamepads. Movement is totally smooth all across the range. The 9X9 matrix is only invoked for the purposes of assigning digital maps. When a digital map is not used (or any cells in the map are assigned as analog) then the stick is a high-resolution analog flight stick. I will think of some wording to add to the webpages to make this clear.
Feedback on this forum will be very helpful in refining the information in this way.
I am awaiting the harder springs, in fact have two levels of hardness to test with. Should only be a few days. Everything else is in stock.

Wow, sounds great! So, I'm guessing this joy will work very well with Sinistar?

I might skip my next P360 purchase and get one of these instead. :)

Awesome, I am very glad that I was wrong.
