The problem is that the question is so wide ranging.
1. The lynx is very different from most helicopters in terms of how the head works, and how movement of the cyclic feels.
2. There are a million failures at all stages of the control runs which will make the cyclic sloppy. (ie loss of all rotor blades will make the cyclic sloppy, but so will a worn bush at various points)
3. Then there are many different trim/autopilot systems ranging from the appalling Gazelle through to decent modern systems, all of which affect the cyclic feel.
