Tron-like flight stick
DarkBubble:
As far as the sensitivity, you should be able to adjust it in software. If the two extra dials aren't for calibration, they could be for manual sensitivity adjustment.
ChadTower:
Yeah, they're usually for sensitivity, as in how the range of resistance on the pots maps to on screen movement. I haven't seen an analog stick yet, though, that adjusts all the way down to something near an 8 way. It wouldn't seem like something you wanted from an analog stick.
Justin Z:
The trigger is digital. It's one of those ones where you push the trigger which pushes against a rubbery thing that hits some sort of contact that looks like it's soldered straight onto a circuit board.
The extra dials are for calibration. It doesn't make any sense to me that they're even there, to be honest with you. Also kind of strange is that the hat switch is loose enough that you can hit diagonals with it.
ChadTower:
Ah, yes. The rubbery thing usually has a little carbon pad on the bottom, that's what shorts the two contacts.

I wonder if there's any easy way to transplant this into a 8-way stick.

I bet hacking the grip would be just like in the wiki. I haven't decided if I wanna go that far, as I don't have a place in my panel for it without modifying the panel. If I hack the grip, I'll probly put it on the same panel as my ST yoke. I might put it there, regardless.
I think the hat switch is supposed to hit diagonals. And I was hoping the wheels would work for sensitivity, but apparently they're only for calibration. It doesn't matter that much cos, either way, the throw is ludicrous for digital controls games. I'm thinking of trying caulk or silicone in the well around the shaft.
