Oh so worth it.
Bought some of these: http://www.amazon.com/pack-Orthodontic-Elastics-Bands-diameter/dp/B002GCNZMU/ref=sr_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1457049406&sr=8-3&keywords=dental+band and put one each stem.

For lube, applied some of this: http://www.amazon.com/DuPont-Krytox-Grease-Pure-Additives/dp/B00NRPXDOK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1457049449&sr=8-1&keywords=krytox+205 to the corners of each switch-housing where the slider actually slides up and down.
Watch this
Time to get your hands dirty!! I'd open the top shell and clean the contact points for lmb and rmb with some isopropyl alcohol - make sure you get both the clear-ish looking switches and the plastic contact points on the top shell. The only thing that could be going wrong is between these two simple mechanics.
If you're still unhappy after cleaning, you could grab some thick Krytox grease like this and apply the tiniest amount to the contact points. I've used this stuff for scroll-wheels and switches that didn't feel right and it seems to do the trick every time. The grease is meant to be used between friction points that are consistently rubbing on eachother, and it'll stay lubricated for like 500 years lol.
