Sidestick grips are disclosed which minimize cross-axis control coupling about three or more control axes, wherein one of the control axes provides directional (yaw) input by twisting the grip in clockwise/counterclockwise directions. Minimizing cross-axis control according to the embodiments disclosed herein is accomplished principally by having the Grip Reference Point (GRP) (i.e., the theoretical point of application of pitch and roll forces) of the sidestick grip to be substantially coincident with the yaw axis of rotation. By providing the GRP substantially coincident with the yaw axis of rotation, unintentional yaw torque is minimized when control input is exerted on the sidestick in the pitch and roll axes.
