I fly mine with my Mini 4 and I like how the virtual sticks follow your fingers depending on where you tap.
This is good for the ones that are busy watching the drone rather than flying it FPV.
Exactly what you said,
Now after only a few flights on VJ sticks I don't have to look at where to place the thumbs anymore that's the wonderful muscle/ memory ability our brains give us.
But I am old school and still appreciate the "feel" of the sticks between my fingers.
