I am not a fan of my pixel bearings. Both of them seem to become responsive once a week. I just was playing today and one became responsive for about the 5th time in 2 months. Is this normal? All my other yoyos, some that I use even more, do not seem to have this issue.

When I clean them I let them sit in acetone for 45 mins to a hour. Then I use an air compressor to blow them out.
