I have been using the VFS-WE from Viper gear for over a year now. It took a while (weeks) getting used to from using my original cougars for the last 17 years.
The only issue I'm having with them is sensor drift due to tempurature change and needing to manually recenter the X and Y axis sensors inside the Cougar base.
I've since moded my base drilling two fairly precice 1/8 inch holes in the base that line up with the VFS X and Y axis trim pots and secured two 4 inch long 1/8 metal rods with one end ground to match the flat head screwdriver slot on each pot enabling them to be recentered even on the fly.
Also the Cougars ability to change stick sensitivity on the fly is done with Foxy's programing using CURVE (JOYX, value) CURVE (JOYY, value) or CURVE (JOYSTICK, value) functions.
