It comes in a very small tube so it s not a great value but i have had it in my main n64 joystick for at least a year and played through a bunch of long games on it dk64 goldeneye diddy kong racing etc and it still feels very smooth.

Is there anything i can do to loosen it.
Gamecube players may benefit from using an n64 console adapter with this adapter online for the correct input gate and to not have to assign buttons.
If i get enough interest maybe i ll make a video showing how to correctly grease the base of the n64 analog stick although you gotta have a little bit of your own talent to open and close the n64 controller properly.

Dab of ceramic grease and it should be good to go for a century.
The most important thing is that the analog stick works well.
Analog stick cap doesn t feel like a n64 stick.
I need it to be extremely loose though almost to the point where the slightest touch will.
I m using an original n64 controller which the analog stick has already been worn in over the years so it is looser than normal but it s still too stiff for me.
Im sure people can find suitable replacements.
I ve been tempted to acquire a sealed in box n64 controller in order to replicate the stick assembly in steel or tungsten carbide.
Using ceramic grease will make the analog sticks in your n64 controllers last a lot longer.
I ve read using ceramic oil may help is this true.
I have used tamiya ceramic grease that you can get on ebay.
Using ceramic grease on them will keep them that way.
Imho also in auto parts store theres valvoline crimson cerulean and penzoil red something.
Wheel bearing grease is vastly superior to ceramic and white lithium combined x2.
Why you so foolishly ask.
Again the correct product to use for this is ceramic grease which is often used for lubricating bearings on bicycles.
If it does then it s worth taking it apart and lubricating the base of the stick and the parts it comes in contact with.
Use ceramic grease which actually employs nanoparticles to reduce friction.
