Less than a week ago I bought the Stingray clone from Infinite and I notice the button wants to keep sticking after pressing it. It seems to happen more if I press it on the edges of the button rather than dead center. Does it just need a good amount of breaking-in time or is this going to progressively get worse?

Not sure I have the black copper and get the same thing. Someone suggested WD-40 which I haven't got around to yet it has got better then when I first got it I sat there one night without a battery in it and kept crunching the button at every angle many many times lol

I just took the button apart on mine and noticed some black crap on the threads and on the inside of the button. I wiped it with a cloth and put it back together and now the button doesn't stick. Problem solved for now. Not sure if that's what was causing it though.
If you haven't ever taken apart the button be careful when you do because there's a very little Grenade pin type thing that falls out when you do. I almost lost mine when taking it apart.

Sometimes I notice that if I screw the swith to the body too tight. I took the switch apart and cleaned everything. It works, but I suppose it could work a bit better. I really have to press dead center or else it doesn't fire.

There's been a number of threads on this topic and several things that can be done to try and make the switches better. Because of the design I don't think these will ever fire if you press on the edges. I cleaned mine out, sanded the surfaces that slide with fine sandpaper and applied Vaseline. Works pretty well now as long as I press in the center.
Replace the Rice pin with something larger. Even weed whacker line will work. The pin is not a conductive requirement.
The excess slop in the pin causes lateral binding.

Could be crap magnets too.
My buddy had one where the magnets were so weak it would autofire easily.
I swapped in a fat daddy replacement kit for him and now it works like a dream

Mine's gotten better over time. I originally used some high-end bicycle lubricant but since it's broken in, I now just keep it clean. What really helps is keeping the throw short.
Unfortunately, my switch has quite a wobble but I can live with that as I'm generally pleased with it otherwise.

I've taken mine apart a couple of times, and I've come to the conclusion with mine that that rice pin needs to be changed. It seems to be too short, and seems to be the piece that can get stuck while pressing the fire button. Cleaning it up seemed to help for a bit, but for those odd times where something goes wrong, it feels like it has to be that rice pin...
