Perhaps the most popular, and also the most expensive joystick lubricant, is Shin-Etsu G-40M (Sanwa grease) grease. The smallest quantities routinely sell for $30.00+ the cost of shipping: http://www.akihabarashop.jp/index.php?c ... 2f4f06a541 A superb alternative to the Shin-Etsu is Molykote 44. Both are very pure silicone greases with near identical specifications. Unlike petroleum based lubricants, silicone is safe for application on or near plastic parts.
I'd like to offer this stuff for free now as a service to the community. Please send me a PM if you're interested. I ask only that you pay for shipping the grease.
