Yeah, there's someone down at Eagle Dynamics forum (creators of DCS World and related modules) that's trying to create different "handles" for the electronic base of the Thrustmaster Warthog.
I wouldn't lose all hope, the project is amazingly good.
Aaaand, yeah, I work with Thypoons and you don't really want to know how much it costs that sticktop.
EDIT: that stick is slightly bent by some photographic mismanagement anyway.
This is more like it.

What's cool thought is the throttle tops.
I think the sticktop of the Warthog feels better.
