Nyogel 767A 50 Gram Tube Certified Nye Lubricants Synthetic Hydrocarbon Grease

This is absolutely amazing stuff! My HOTAS throttle was had very sticky action, adding a little of this to the rails that guide the throttle made it smooth as butter. It also makes the throttle action feel much more realistic and easy to make very fine adjustments. It was recommended to me by someone the a Star Citizen forum. This stuff is great for anyone into flight simulators and space flying games and I strongly recommend it. I'm going to apply some to my joystick eventually too. I wish I would have known about this stuff a long time ago.

This grease is excellent for one very specific purpose: to provide just the right amount of friction that allows a control lever, when adjusted by hand, to slide smoothly but not too fast or too slowly.People usually think of lubricants as a substance that makes two items slide across one another more easily and quickly, but the function of this type of lubricant is to add a small amount of friction, while still giving the two surfaces a smooth and fluid glide across each other. One common use for this kind of friction-adding lubricant is on the slide pads of flight throttles, allowing the pilot to slide the throttle up or down in a smooth but controlled motion. After some research into the best lubricants to use for a slightly sticky flight simulation throttle, I decided to give this grease a try, and am quite satisfied.

I bought this because it seems the Gladiator nxt has a common issue with the stock grease causing a sticky twist. you can feel the "steps" as you try to do a light twist. I could feel anywhere from 5 to 10 individual steps going from center to either left or right. this doesn't happen if you full send the twist in either direction, but if you make small movements and gradual twists it is very much a problem and very noticeable. I cleaned the old grease out and applied the Nyogel pretty liberally to the twist mechanism. It is now BUTTERY smooth and feels incredible. Now i think i went a little crazy because i can hear some smacking of the gel while twisting so i probably put too much but tbh i don't care since i wear headphones. mileage may vary on that. I care more about the feel than the sound so I'm pleased. 5 stars

In researching what types, brands, etc of grease to use in a variety of online gaming forums, this grease was BY FAR the most recommended for use in my Thrustmaster HOTAS as well others. There seemed to be no comparable alternative and while the price is steep; it does do the job and quite well. Followed some videos and guides online to disassemble the HOTAS units and applied just enough (too much can do more harm than good) and buttoned them back up. IMMEDIATE difference in handling and stick 'snap-back' which is what I was looking for. Just wish they had smaller portions and while I'm sure this will last me a lifetime; I may find more uses as time progresses. Great stuff for my intended purpose!

I won't sit here and argue with the many people using this for the Thrustmaster Warthog and stuff, and I won't give it a bad bad rating for being something that doesn't work for me. But I DO NOT recommend this for the TWCS throttle. This stuff is like tree sap. I spent a good couple hours meticulously cleaning my setup of the stuff they put on it in the factory. Simply put, even with the tensioner barely screwed in, let alone tightened, my throttle would barely move without sliding all over the table. It did fix the stiction that you got with their stock lubricant, but this wasn't better. I'm still hunting for the best one for this job. I spent a long long time cleaning off this super glue 767a stuff. Now I'm using SuperLube PTFE Silicon lube. It may very well be TOO far the opposite direction in viscosity. It's very very slightly better than what came on it, but still not perfect. But way better than this stuff. It's worth noting that even with the slide brackets clamped down, there's still a tiny bit of play in the throttle guides, which may very well have caused the more prominent issues I had with this Nyogel stuff.

At the recommendation of the flight sim community, used this to re-grease my Thrustmaster T16000m and TWCS and I cannot say enough good things about it. The throttle turned out slightly better than the joystick but both are markedly improved. The throttle glides evenly and smoothly, no skips or judders, and feels almost perfectly hydraulic. Seriously, its that good. The joystick is nearly as improved, though due to the gimbal design its a touch slower in the pitch axis vs roll, but that's an extremely minor complaint. Both devices register small inputs easily and have made aircraft control a breeze. Well worth the time and $$ to turn mid-range gear into a reasonable approximation of the high end stuff.
