lubricating sticks

ragnar:
I have two u360s and one is kinda sticky for lack of a better term.

So, what lubricant should I use?  I saw some joystick specific lubricants for sale but they cost $20+.  My thinking is that these are existing lubricants that are rebradned as specific for joysticks thusly getting a huge mark up in price.  So, is there anything cheaper that I could pick up at a big box store?  or do I actually have to shell out $20+?

Thanks

How much is a new stick? 25? 30? Save yerself some elbow grease :)

Try $60. Plus its not exactly hard to apply some lube to a joystick.

Info on U360 lube [here].

That's not a wise decision. U360's cost $60 so 5 mins and some small change on lubricant is a better idea.

Would also be interested in any suggestions. I have used some generic lubricant my old man used to use at his job building airplanes, but a more specific solution would be welcome :D

I generally use white lithium grease, but I don't know if it would stay in place long enough for this purpose.
