I have the Cyborg X, it's cheap! The reason that they flex is that all (and there are lots!) of the adjustment points are left loose and need tightening as soon as you take it out of the box. The annoying free play is due to the yoke rake adjustment being held by a spring loaded pin and not a screw. Buttons fall off and need modding too......all easy to do for a DIY enthusiast. I like the layout and it's cheap enough to carry out the improvements and void the warranty. When it finally falls apart, I will get something better. Quality of Madcatz products leaves a lot to be desired but you get what you pay for. I (ab)use it a hell of a lot and it still functions....
