From the raw (neutral point), the numbers change in single digit increments
as soon as I move the control.
Absolutely linear action.
Example: Axis 3-steering(from center, turning right)= 131,132,133 and so
on....
Same result with the other axis's.
I don't remember all the details of how it was before the usb upgrade, but
response definitely wasn't as immediate off center and the raw numbers
refused to hold steady (numbers flickered about 10 steps either side of
neutral) .

I did the usb upgrade.The best thing I ever did for my sim racing.I had the
Rockfire.I sent mine in.Took awhile but worth it.When you send it in all the
guts get changed.All the wiring on the wheel is completly different.I think
racing whether it be sims or the real thing is a matter of very small
pecentages.Can you be 100% at every track every time?tires outlasting
everyone elses.Rf not going yellow much sooner.car outhanding everyone elses
on every corner every lap.I don't think so.
The only other thing I can say about the upgrade it gave me a few percentage
points up.
Oh one other thing I got a new 19 in.lcd monitor.again a few percentage
points.

Ken..what do you use to tweak your settings?
