What grease do you use for joysticks?

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?

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.
