Sticky Playstation Analog

[Jessweeee♪]

Well then, I've never had that issue. Maybe your thumbs sweat a lot?

But if that were the issue, why would it only do this after it hasn't been in use for months? D:

I'm guessing that it's a form of grease or lubricant for the analog sticks. Depending on what it is, it might expand very easily if not kept at an ideal temperature, leaking out around the stick.

This makes sense. I sort of had the feeling it was something in the sticks themselves. It gets really hot in my room at home, and in my dorm I keep it right by my window. Maybe since I haven't been using them it just collects rather than getting wiped off by my thumbs?
