I've tried that to, in a moving vehicle it still can be a bit difficult to not affect an adjacent axis from time to time... you have to be careful & think about it to much, I have mine set up to use the 4 way axis & another function when it's pulled all the way up, I find anything more than this to be problimatic for me with acidental triggers, but, even at that limited use I'd still say this is well worth it
