Broken joystick? or totaly normal?

Im wondering if my joystick is broken on my Primer2.

If I'm holding it like a regular game pad, with the joystick to the left.
I can feel a clicking feeling to left, right and down.

When I'm pushing up it just feels like Jelly.
And the joystick pushes at the casing. I'm wondering if thats why it feels like jelly.

You can also see that the joystick is slightly twisted CCW. And It seems that it's not centered correctly. It is positioned more upwards than in the center.

Is this normal?

I looked at another primer2 kit. And it also had problem with the joystick. It was twisted CCW, but this one felt  more like Jelly in all directions.

My joystick is totally unusable. It responds, but the feeling is like crap!!!

Do anyone else have this problem?

Re: Broken joystick? or totaly normal?

Such problems had been already reported in the forum. The joystick are sometimes not properly centered, and the top could block the joystick. Increasing the size of the hole could be the solution.
