It's a little more sensitive than I care for, I think due to having 10k ohm potentiometers on the joystick.  The controller documentation recommends 1-5k ohm potentiometers but I hadn't read that far when I ordered the 10k model.  So I'll probably pick up the same joystick with 5k ohm pots and see if it feels better.
