you might try graphite, available at hardware stores, it will attract allot less dust and won't evaporate. if that isn't slick or penetrating enough, i've had great luck with white lithium grease from automotive stores, it's thin enough to work into things but doesn't evaporate quickly and doesn't gum things up. depending on where you live, you can get syringes with needles or applicators and use them for any kind of oil, grease, or glue you like. even in the most silly areas you should be able to get the bozo syringes at the drug store meant for measuring medicines, and they usually have a smallish pointed tip. syringes are truly useful for allot of non-medical things. i just think it's kind of silly to start having to do a lube job on your mac every few months, cars are bad enough. dry teflon lubricants would probably work really well, i've been meaning to try that myself, it works really, really well on locks (i've got some in an aerosol spray, i keep meaning to order some in a jar, it's got a solvent carrier in any case that evaporates quickly).
