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.
