Travelers joystick

The place to ask for help or solve each others technical issues and discuss hardware

Can anyone recommend a good joystick for traveling? I was looking at the Saitek fold up ST90 but it only has a 4 position throttle. Maybe I could program 2 of the switches to be throttle up and throttle down.
Remember the 50-50-90 rule. Anytime you have a 50-50 chance of getting something right, there's a 90% probability you'll get it wrong!

I thought about this last year when i was travelling away for work a lot. I couldn't find anything that suited so actually looked at chopping up my spare old USB 1.1 MS Sidewinder and using it. I opened it up and thought there was a lot of wasted plastic which could make it smaller for being portable. Never progressed with the idea though.
