These guys feel great.  The lever rotates on a chromed ball-joint -
super smooth, the travel is easily 10 degrees more than almost any other I've found plus the handle is nicely machined spun aluminum.  I
looked for a few weeks for the best fit.  The newer type are
definitely cool because they are tiny (about .6 inches square), some
have z axis switches in the handles, but a handle
solution is a problem (they just come with a stub 10mm x 2mm dia) and nobody stocks the non-self centering lever type (the springs in the new generation stick controller cannot be removed without damaging the unit).
