Default Remote control buttons fix?

I seem to recall there is a kit one can get on ebay that has little pads of
a conductive stuff one fashions to fit each button.


Are you sure in your case its not the lubricant in the rubber which is
solidifying and getting in the little pits where the tracks are and stopping
a connection occuring?
I've had no end of trouble this way with Goodmans controls, I have a friend
now who takes them apart and cleans them out every few months. I'm convinced
its a deliberate self destructive design!

A simple remote control which uses the conductive rubber for the contact
across the PCB has failed/ become too high resistance to work - what is the
latest wisdom for fixing them please?
