Omni-2 a little stiff

I purchased an Omni-2 from GGG that does not have the spinable plate for the 4 way to 8 way gaming for a discounted price to match my player one stick. Ive noticed that if you release the stick back to neutral from some positions gently enough it doesn't spring back well enough to deactivate the micro-switch. Any tips on either oiling the mechanism or strengthening the spring back somewhat. (Although the way you would have to be playing the stick for this problem to happen is not very feasible considering you would have to kinda ease the stick back, it still seems like it could be an issue for some people)
I have already contacted the vendor but haven't heard back yet. Just seeing if anyone here has an opinion in the meantime.

What BadMouth said. This stuff works wonders and is what we use.
Also, you can try stretching the centering spring a bit (only after making sure there is plenty of lube) to increase the centering tension. If none of that works, let me know.
