1415153 2016-01-28 00:44:00 Anyone know what is the white grease Logitech use on the plastic/nylon gears in wheel controllers.
My googling has sugested, ceramic, silicon or lithium grease.
I don't want to mix two different types. They may not get on.

Problem?

I had a sticking issue with the scroll wheel once on a Logitech, took the spring out )semi-accidentally) but it cured it and it scrolled sort of smoothly thereafter, not with it's old "firmness", but it fixed it.

I wish to add some grease to the gears in a force feedback driving wheel.

I'm fairly certain it will be white lithium, just wanted a second opinion.

I would use teflon grease or silicone grease myself.

Cheers,
