They've not broken controllers, just joysticks. I fly with a Saitek X52 Pro which has more than enough knobs and buttons for everything I need right now, and I use keybinds for a few things I don't need right now.

If the Saitek programmer and/or STO weren't quite so stupid then I could ditch the keybinds too.

Also (a) it's a spaceship game; spaceships are like 'planes and are flown with a stick (b) variable turn rate / run speed are really quite handy. Sadly STO doesn't handle throttle on an axis properly so I have to quantize that so only get 10 throttle settings easily accessable rather than fully variable.
