You can lube the wire where it enters the clip, and it will normally get rid of the rattle.  As for mushy, mine have never felt mushy.  In fact, I prefer the feel of properly lubed costar stabs to cherry stabs.

Check shipping from Elitekeyboards or Techkeys, too.

Check if the plastic pegs on the side are seated properly.

Costar stabs should never feel mushy, only Cherry stabilizers are mushy (I can never use non-clipped Cherry stab again).

Also keep in mind when lubing, petroleum based greasy will eat away plastic.  Generally silicone based lube (like from elitekeyboards) are good.
