It took me some time to figure out how to make it work but that was part of the fun. It has a good range of sensitivity and even when you have to ignore first 7 to 10% because it doesn't go completely back to zero, it's still very effective. I made a game to test it with and was satisfied. Only problem I have is it wiggles if you don't stabilize it in some way. I had 3D printed a gamepad-like case for my M5StickC with it attached but I'm sure there are simpler DIY solutions.
