Linear Joystick
---------------

MIN-|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |-MAX



Points are evenly spaced between MIN and MAX


Non-Linear Joystick
-------------------

MIN-|  |  |  |  |  |  |    |    |    |    |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |-MAX


The points in the center (zero) are spaced further apart so that the
Joystick/Wheel isn't as sensitive.  In some cases, it can even be
progressive between the points as you extend out from the center.
