My X52Pro does it a bit and I have had it a couple of years now. By the way I assume it is not 'sticky'?

Second, if you look in the Windows Games Controller programme and the crosshair is moving throughout that 'loose' physical movement you are at least getting an input response to the movement, it is not mechanical play giving a 'dead zone' so if you can live with the 'feel' of it your stick input is not lost. I've got used to mine and that input results in aircraft response so I don't worry about it and my springs are pretty relaxed now so there's no noticeable 'step change' in feel when moving onto the spring pressure.
sorry, forgot to tell that the crosshair is not moving when i do this
