No, It's not normal on mine...I tested my, over 6 month old SC and by touch they seemed a tad the other way, as my left stick seems a bit easier than my right gimbal. I then tried the "Bo'ing" test (This is my scientific term and may not be reused without express consent :p) Where as I flicked each stick down to full travel and listened as they snapped back to center..again the left stick "Seemed" to be the lighter tension of the two.

Personally I never noticed till you brought it up as mine are very close. YMMV but unless there is a huge difference, I would pay no mind to it as long as they recenter.

I am sure there is a YouTube video somewhere for tear down to get in there and adjust tension if one was so inclined :)

On a side note the new DJI FPV controller has a adjustable tension, I have never seen that on the smart controller.
 
Not noticeable on mine either.

So long as each one returns to center, I’d be hesitant on breaking the SC down to look at it, unless you know what you are doing.

Happy flying!
 
Thanks for the replies I'm stuck in two minds I could just return it back to the eBay seller ..

What's the warranty on the SC ?uk
