Ah, I thought one of the upgrade options included new parts for this.. new sensors (MARS)? Sounds like the existing potentiometer is not replaced?
In actuality after a bit of use this issue has "gone away", I think perhaps the potentiometer might just have been a bit "sticky" to start with.. if that's a thing which is possible.

The other option is to replace the potentiometer, I can send you a replacement.
This is what I've done. And, as I don't really use the throttle on the joystick it's not really an issue I am too concerned about. Thanks.

Yep, as with the throttle I can calibrate the difference away. It's such a minor difference anyway that it's not noticeable in-game. Thanks.

Ok, I am interested in the price and shipping costs for those, will check them out.

Ok, thanks.

Not to worry, I am more or less happy with the M5 for the moment.
Ideally I want another option, like the Gladiator, but with more buttons on the stick itself (not on the base of the unit). Ideally it would have a good gimbal, but also twist (this may be a contradictory requirement - as many who want a good gimbal do not want twist due to the issues with unintended input). Ideally it would have the MARS and NJOY internals and other good electronic hardware. Ideally it would be competitive with the x52 and new Thrustmaster HOTAS range (while only being a single stick). I can dream..
