Ultrastik 360 centering issues

Los Abrazos Rotos:
I'm having a bit of trouble with my new U360.  I've just fitted a circular restrictor & stiff spring but it seems to be sticking.  The stick  doesn't return naturally to the centre which is a bit of a problem..   Has anyone else had this problem with U360s?  If so whats the way around it? 

Los Abrazos Rotos:
I've replaced the new stiff spring with the old one, it seems to be an improvement.  I'm not totally sold on this joystick!

I've had lots of probs like that with my 360's. I like them because, being analog, they're super flexible in how you can map them and the games they can play while feeling very natural.

The prob with mine seems to be that the pivot bearing inside gets gummed up and sticky over time.

I've tried several different solutions, but the latest round seems to be working the best so far. It's a silicon lube that was recommended by the guys at Ultimarc. I picked  up  tube off ebay.

It's been a month they they're still smooth. We'll see how long it lasts...

And mine already have to longer shafts and stiffer springs.
Los Abrazos Rotos:
It just wont ping back to dead centre, I've taken it apart and cant really see a way round it - the little pivot is the problem. It has improved with the lighter spring but its still not ideal..

I've got the same problem with my most used U360. I sprayed it with a silicone spray and it helped for a bit. Do you have a link to the stuff you bought?
