Some company (not CH) makes joysticks and a flight yoke that don't use
potentiometers. They work better, apparently. Someone on the sim forum
could probably lead you to a controller that behaves well.

Saitek uses Hall-effect sensors for the two main axes of the joystick in some
models (X52 and X52 Pro), but not usually for the other axes. It makes a
difference.
