Yes, I have the same problem. All my game devices are digital USB and
never need calibrating. But, some games recognize both devices and
others will only recognize one (EAW). I think the best solution is to
go all digital USB with a hub and just plug/unplug the device(s) you
want to use at the time. USB is hot swappable so with a hub (easier
access) it's would just take a few seconds to switch between a gamepad
and a joystick or steering wheel. So long as all devices are digital
there would be no recalibration necessary.
