It's very difficult to find compact joysticks that aren't self-centering. The only ones I know of are the doepfer ones and they're very expensive (about $70 for just the joystick, another 12 for the rod, and that doesn't include the circuit to send midi).

At first I thought the self-centering would be limiting too but now that I've used it with freeze/unfreeze I actually like it. Especially having modwheel and channel pressure on the same joystick adds a lot of variability under my right thumb.
Just a thought - couldn't you just pull your controllers apart, and remove the offending springs?
