A new 'Bus driver may be surprised at first try, whichever side you're seated on.

The sidestick not like a video game stick that one can mash from side to side with abandon, rather it has built in movement dampers which give it a firm but forgiving feedback in all directions. But, the further you push it the firmer the response, i.e., "lock-to-lock" travel is not instantaneous. The grip is similar to a pistol grip, very comfortable and natural feeling.

Cheers, y'all.
