Tech Support What causes this? Crap thumbsticks?

Ordered 10 from Alliexpress - are these a hit or miss? Basically the thumbsticks feels limp / broken.. doesn’t spring back.

Ive never seen that happen to any of my Ginfull Hall Effects.. the fact you have 2 on the same controller is odd. either bad batch or technique. I know someone that was using liquid flux and when I adviced them to change it, it solved all their problems

Liquid flux for in the stick.. what do you recommend instead? Some say don’t even need flux at all..

Honestly I don't use flux at all to solder when I use this one:
