I seriously endorse calibrating this joystick. I have this model and it 
covers about 60% of the full range before calibration.

For calibration I use the jscal utility available. Here's the info from 
the linuxgaming FAQ for building this.

export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous at cvs1.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/linuxconsole
cvs login
cvs -z3 co ruby
cd ruby/utils
make

Binaries available at http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/files/jsutils.tar.gz 
<http://www.root.cz/lgfaq/files/jsutils.tar.gz>

Here's my calibration - yours may differ a little

jscal -s 
6,1,1,533,537,1439288,1412775,1,0,513,521,1520834,1578984,1,2,134,136,6710682,7780500,1,1,119,119,6882750,7780500,1,0,0,0,-2147483648,536854528,1,0,0,0,536854528,536854528
