If it is of interest for some people, I measured the stick forces on the airbus sidestick.
The results are : 17Nm in pitch, 10Nm laterally, both for full deflection.
It means that full deflection measured just two centimeters below the red button (where one could typically apply force) would give 8kg(force) for full pitch deflection and 4.8kg for full roll deflection.

Edit : and going from idle reverse to forward idle requires about 1.5kgf per thrust lever !
