Load bearing areas should have a layer ie some grease. A dab is fine, a blob is a waste. I pick a tiny amount with a toothpick, dab & wipe the grease on. Personaly as long as it looks coated its fine, if definately dry I dab again.
The grease doesn't seem to stay on the detent very long and was wondering how often they are supposed to be lubed as they are a high-pressure point.

Per your post I cleaned & lubed my HW95L which looked just like your picture. Thanks for the reminder.
Never even thought about this,
Hmm good point though I'll check all mine now
Here is a new unpolished detent with machine marks I wonder if it would hold the lube better or would it still be better polished for smoothness.

The answer to the question is:
When it feels a bit rough while operating - should be a very smooth click, lubricate if not.

I go with just a dab of molly and try to keep it clean so I dont transfer any oils ont the back of the pellet plus it keeps the atrraction of dirt down too
As other contributors have said, a dab of molly when needed. A machined surface will hold lube a bit better than a shiny surface....
