Use a cocktail stick or similar.
Precisely. They give a nice smooth hydraulic feel for that reason.
Resurrecting an old thread but after following the Nyogel 767A recommendations in these forums i took the plunge and purchased a tube. The company wanted to write up a case/use study.

Hella late to the party but I had the same issue for the longest time. But! If you're willing to do a little bit of diy, you'll never have to lube the rails again. I highly suggest CoreHawk3D's throttle mod on etsy. It replaces the piece that rides on the rails with a 3D printed, closed ended block. The mod also comes with your choice of bearings for the rails to ride on: metal bearings for an ultra smooth--but noisy--glide, self-lubricating polymer bushings for a silent silky smooth glide, or both if you want to experiment. Installation takes about 30 mins and the seller has an installation video on youtube. https://www.etsy.com/listing/885326705/impulse-slider-thrustmaster-t16000m?ref=yr_purchases

When I had a T16000M set I had to open the throttle and lube the rails every now and then (used the silicon lube I also use for my climbing treadmill), it became much better after lubing it. Another issue is that the throttle is far too light (light cheap plastic), I had to place a large heavy object in front of it so it wouldn't slide over the table when I pushed the throttle forwards.
Aside from these issues, it was a rather nice budget throttle.

A simple wide mouse mat (the kind which goes under the keyboard as well) solves the sliding forward problem, speaking from experience
It's crazy when an old thread of mine gets dug up like this!
I've lubed and throttle and it's not a permanent solution. Here's what may be the ultimate solution to the throttle stickiness:

I'd try it, but unfortunately it looks like it's sold out at this time:

I hope the guy that makes it is still making it! If anyone finds a source, post it here.
