I'm sure the spring will get worn down eventually. I can always grease the pivot point up a bit too.

....or just return it. Their advertising is misleading. There are also complaints about the base is too lite allowing it to move around because of still springs.

Yep, the base is too light. I'll keep it, though. I'm sure I will get used to it eventually. If not, I can buy something else and use this as a backup.

Why not try the Saitek Cyborg FLY 5. It's got dual throttles and is in the same price range.

Have one brand new sitting in my closet. Tried it a few times and didn't like it. The design is a bit better, but I never quite fell in love with it.
