The joystick is starting to squeak, it's very annoying

What would you advice me to buy ( lubricant ) ?

Thank you

Could start off with contact cleaner, make sure theres no particles you can remove where it's rubbing, not really lube, and from there try some very light chain oils, if you try and use too thick of an oil or grease, it can actually have the opposite effect, and make it stick instead of slide more freely.

I strongly recommend a graphite dry lube between the collar and joystick shaft. I spent almost an entire screen weekend fixing a sticky squeaky x55 trying everything. for me graphite worked the best.

The black "ball" below the spring is squeaking, not the spring or something else.

The ball as well as the plastic ring on the shaft tend to squeek or grab a bit sometimes. Like I said the best stuff for plastic is Dow Corning Molykote 44 Medium.

And i will have to do this every 3-4 weeks?

I don't... probably more like once a month or so.

I bought a can of grease from Canadian Tire for 4 bucks and put a smattering of it on every couple months. Works like a charm.
