Why is 'Left Stick to Sprint' so unpleasant in games?—Aria's Barks

Many recent game console controllers, such as the Nintendo Switch Joy-Con, are equipped with analog sticks on the left and right. These sticks can be pressed down to perform a variety of operations.
Salvatrice said, 'It feels difficult to push the analog stick when it's pushed all the way down,' and analyzed the reason for this.
When you disassemble the analog stick, you'll find a lever that detects forward, backward, left and right movements.
Additionally, when the lever is pressed, a switch attached to the side is pressed, detecting the input.
Regarding why it is difficult to push the stick with the lever tilted, Salvatrice analyzed that 'the stick needs to be pushed at an angle that physically puts a load on it' and 'the contact surface between the switch and the lever is much narrower than when pushing from directly above.' According to Salvatrice, in order to press the switch with the lever tilted, it is necessary to apply a stronger force than when pressing from directly above, and the clicking sound when the switch is pressed is difficult to hear, and the accuracy of the tactile feedback is also reduced.
'I hope this commentary catches the eye of developers,' Salvatrice said.
