Sometimes you just need enough to get the job done.
Sanwa and Seimitsu joysticks make use of silicone grease to lubricate the joystick shaft's pivot cylinder. This allows for fluid movement during play. All joysticks come with a small amount of the grease already applied, but it can wear down over time.
Before now, you could purchase only the Shin-Etsu Silicone Grease (100g) tube. For most, this was enough for several years or several hundred applications. This was potentially overkill, and expensive depending on your intended use.
FA.DAB contains just that - a small dab of the same quality Shin-Etsu silicone grease that is available in the 100g tube. This is perfect for several applications, and at a price that makes joystick maintenance a cheap affair.
Each dab is encased in a .20 ounce vial with flip cap with label. Applying the Shine-Etsu grease from the FA.DAB vial to your joystick is easy. Check out the helpful video by Joey Wainright for application tips.
A little dab will do ya!! Unknown on Apr 18th 2018
UPDATE FROM FA: Please note that content size of "dab" can vary from photos, and cannot represent the contents of every container.
The grease does the job it's supposed to do. Only criticism I have is you will not get nearly the same size dollop as the one in the picture. I don't have a means of weighing the actual amount in my container but if it comes out to .30 ounces I don't have a right to complain but you definitely get about a quarter of gel compared to the picture. The product itself works fine. Unknown on Mar 19th 2018
People do not realize the amount of gunk and dust that can build up on the pivot and housing of their levers. The FA Dab which basically contains the industry standard of Shin Etsu G40m silicone grease in a small and cheap package, of which ensures everything is smooth as butter and that's pivotal considering the lever is the most important part of an arcade stick.
Lubing the lever every once in 6 months or so is recommended if you play a lot. A clean and smooth pivot is a significant difference to that of a dirty, gunked up pivot that is clipping against the housing.
Considering how affordable FA has made this available, get them! One cap is enough for up to 3 applications. Ben.T on Dec 25th 2017
I modified my Sanwa joystick to add the link and well just a little bit of grease was used to have some maintenance into my Fight stick. Andres Serrano Garcia on Apr 13th 2017
This product is good CamusWilPin on Oct 22nd 2016
I used this grease on a Hayabusa and a JLF. The action of the joysticks are much faster and smoother. I used about a soybean sized amount for the inner parts of the joysticks after taking them apart, and half of that amount on the pivot. I still have plenty of dab left, I feel like I could service three or four more joysticks. Kaiel on Apr 5th 2016
This lubing grease fixed the clunkiness that my Q2 Pro's JLF stick had about a year after use. If you don't go crazy with the application of this dab, then you will still have enough left over yo lube a second stick. Jawaad on Dec 9th 2015
