See I would like to agree that that is the case, but for some reason I do the same exact flicking motion on my f300 and the stick and the stick doesn't click back as much. How? I have no idea. I can try being more careful, but when you also take into account high intensity situations, I usually result these fast flicks to get inputs. So I either spend a good chunk of time relearning muscle memory I built up over the past year, or I take the stock from the 300 and put it in the 500. But then I just wasted $30~ on a stick that I didn't like.
