It's an OK stick, but I'm a little disappointed overall. There seems to be a massive dead zone, so minor adjustments are near impossible. This is very noticeable in Realistic and Sim where you can stall into a spin.
Is there any hope for adjusting the dead zone? I'm guessing not.
Do any of you fellows use sticks with BoP, particularly on Xbox? Is there an ideal stick out there?

The M00ps is correct.
The large deadzone is needed for gamepads because the sticks are very short which makes them very sensitive to small movements. Without the deadzone you would be moving and wobbling all over the place without any movement of the stick becuase the mechanism to hold the stick central is weak so you can easily move it with just your thumb and is cheap so will wear quickly making the stick not always sit at complete center.
Pre-patch/xbox BoP did not take the lowered thus more acurate sensitivity available with a long joystick into acount (the leverage of a long stick meaning the mechanism to hold the stick central can be much stronger like a big spring allowing the use of a much smaller deadzone)
BoS will have specific control schemes for popular joysticks which you can then customise. The Joystick control schemes will have a much smaller deadzone than the gamepad control schemes.
