I have a bug, but it doesn't act like that. That would drive me crazy!
Have you taken it apart to see if there is undue wear, or something foreign inside?

OK, The part that the metal shaft goes into, it way to high in your case. If it won't just push down, pull it out and see if there is something under it (must be!)
My bug is MUCH more responsive! But it because of the position of the disk that actually presses the switch springs.
I sure hope this helps.

The Bug is not the most precise joystick I have (actually I seldom use it), but it quicker than yours. (the kids have my camera right now, so I can't even take a shot to show you) It does have a little play however - so maybe that's just something that happens with time & use?
I still prefer the old TAC 2 joysticks, or Mazemasters.
But, at best, joystick preferences is a very subjective topic.
