In retrospect, it makes sense that the reset state has a spring effect playing.

Without a default spring effect playing on startup/reset, it wouldn't
be usable as a regular HID joystick on systems that don't have PID
support.

Are there actually devices that don't reset to a spring effect being
played then?
