RC,

I hope you don't mind I do ask this question!

Gents, I read in the modern transmitter you can soften the sticks by settings as Expo, response and hysteresis. Maybe more.

My opinion is "thumbing the tile" is the most direct manipulating of the short sticks but you must have learned it.
Play (see the red circles on the picture) was the main technical disadvantage of my old transmitter sticks, resulting in hysteresis.

Shacking did wear the potentiometers so we were careful not to do that, .
We did want the fastest analog servo’s for the main control functions aileron and elevator.

My question is: does any thumber also uses the adjustments for :

Exponential
Response
Hysteresis.

Or are these adjustments mostly used by the pinchers because their stick manipulating is the weakest link in the chain of the control loop?

This is a real question, because why do use response adjustment when I look for the fastest servos , why use exponential when I use short sticks and why hysteresis when I do not shake and have perfect sticks now?

Also,

On the moment I want to safe my plane I do not want the speed of my servo restricted in the transmitter.

Also to think about the past, the first slow analog servos were for several pilots the reason to use their reeds radio for several years after the introduction of the proportional.

I am interested because I never did use any of them only dual rate some times.
