Anybody else experience a sticky gimbal wheel on their controller (ie wont “return to center” when released)? If so, I’d be very interested to hear how you fixed it, or learned you couldn’t.

Thanks very much in advance!
 
I just ordered some electronics parts cleaner spray. I’ll post the results.

If you mean physically sticky, I'd be tempted to try some Deoxit D5.

Yes, physically bunked-up. From what I understand, the stuff I ordered “CRC something or other”, is very similar to Deoxit. Thanks,

I have some of the CRC too. It's a fast-drying leave-no-residue type formula... cost less and comes in a bigger can.

Deoxit has a formula like that too - DN5

But D5 'cleans' and leaves a slight lubricant effect behind.... good stuff! I bought a small can couple years ago when I refurbed an old Marantz 3200 preamp and Dynaco stereo tube amp. Used it on a lot of stuff since then, still have some left - it's expensive and I'm stingy. LOL
