VKB Gladiator NXT Evo - Center Detent; No Centering

I've found a love for piloting rotary craft in various games (Arma 3, Nuclear Option, X-Plane 11 and 12) and found that the best control for these craft is removing the centering springs. The problem is I also like to play Spaceflight Sims (Elite Dangerous, Spaceborne II, Evochron Legacy 1 & 2, X4, etc) as well as play fixed wing aircraft in the other games I've already mentioned as well, plus DCS World.

I don't want to continuously go back and forth adding and removing the #10 centering springs every time I change craft. For one, it's additional ware and tear on the hooks that I'd be concerned about breaking after prolonged use. For another it's not practical, especially for games like NO and Arma where I may have to use multiple airframe types within the same session.

I actually prefer not having any centering force, but is there a way to create a center detent where I can feel that the stick is at dead center without having to look for visual clues within game to see that I'm drifting/spinning ever so slightly?
