Title: I want to make my Microsoft Force Feedback 2 joystick feel new again...
Post by: Perrine on November 22, 2013, 04:29:10 PM
The X and Y axis controls feels like they need some lubrication.  I opened my FF2 and I see it uses toothed plastic gears.

What kind of grease/paste/etc should I put inside Microsoft FF2 to lubricate X-Y plastic gearing?

Probably silicon grease. Don't use any regular oil as that can eat up the plastic bits.

go to your local auto parts store and get a tube of dielectric grease...
