I click on calibrate joystick, and as I move it around, the little cross doesn't follow it smoothly, but it shakes violently..i.e. I move the stick frward, and it shakes to the left like hell...
What's that? Can it be fixed? If not, should I buy the same type of stick, or it is not normal after a year of hard usage? It's a Speed link black widow, and I love it btw. If I had to chose another one it would be the Saitek aviator.
So what's this thing?

I have the same joy. Try to set Filtering to max and Dead Band somewhere above one half, to invert the joystick upside down and shake it before each session. It works to my joy, perhaps it will work to you, too.
