I think I mentioned it sometime ago. A spray lubricant called RemDriLube 
developed by DuPont and marketed by Remington, usually found somewhere in 
the vicinity of firearm care products (I got mine at K-mart). The spray 
dries a second or two after being sprayed, quite neat -- unlike WD40. The 
WD40 works but it may make the keys icky if oversprayed (and it would 
make your pocket yucky).
