On the topic of lube for joysticks I thought I would share...
This silicone grease made by Honda is roundly considered in automotive circles to be the best lubricant in existence. It's called Shin-Etsu. One tube will last a long time and it is worth every penny. I use it on all of my joysticks.
Put it on any rubber grommets and it will essentially bring them back to life. Use it on any rubber trim. Put it on spinner bearings, track ball rollers, anything. It works head and shoulders above any white lithium or spray lubricants I have ever tried on controls and I have tried them all.
Anyway. It's a well kept secret that should be used more in the arcade scene:
