Controller modding

The only issue with the ps3 and xbox controllers is the fact that the analog sticks auto center. This is a problem for the throttle/yaw stick which you would prefer to only auto center horizontally (yaw) and allow full vertical motion (throttle) without auto centring.
I have found http://www.sainsburysentertainment.co.u ... =E11170992 sell a cheep (£9.99) ps3 copy controller and I have started to take it to bits in order to only allow centring of the right stick in the horizontal plane. This seems like it will be successful and I will post pics here soon.
I am not sure if anyone has tried this with other controllers but I would be interested to here if this is simpler on other models. Also when complete It would be good to be able to configure the throttle to the full scale of the vertical access allowing for no throttle in the down position to full throttle in the up position. I havent tried yet but is this possible to achieve by manual edit of the profile file for the controller. It would be nice to have this as an option in the application if not and for simpler activation in the future.
