If you want more power but dont want to have to manufacture and design your own joystick then you can go for laser wing ffb joystick
. Its about the same size but it uses robot actuators that will split your nuts in half if you let go

What ffb joystick allows you to do is fly with an extension

no it
's not
. for example
, even the airbus side stick requires about 22lb force for max deflection on pitch axis
, and 7
~9lb max for rolling
