Title: What grease do you use for joysticks?
Post by: Crono22 on August 20, 2011, 06:50:04 pm

I used lithium for my 360's but they get gunked up quick and become harder and harder to move. So what grease does everyone here use?

I never put lubricant on my joys.

The only joysticks I ever greased were my Hall effects, and that was with lithium grease as recommended in the manual (IIRC).  AFAIK, you shouldn't have to grease joys in general.

It was silicon grease that Andy recommends.
