I can tell you a set to avoid, the AKNES GuliKit sticks (sold on Amazon). For some reason, when you go to calibrate the sticks, the area the sticks can move show up as squares instead of circles. This means when a stick moves at an angle (top left, bottom right, etc), the stick moves into one of the corners of the square. Since there's a longer simulated distance for the same hardware distance, moving a sick at an angle registers faster than moving a stick in a cardinal direction. It's weird. It was too much of a pain to uninstall, find new ones, then reinstall, so I've just put up with it.
