It's the sugar part of the juice that has gotten into the switch, making it stickier and harder to press.

For fixes: either replace the troublesome switches (if you can), or in due time. It may take several months of usage before the sugary part wears off.

As far as lubes go, those are electrically conductive and you'll short circuit your hardware.
