I can’t explain why, but I know certain types of rubber turn to glue in a few years. I have a Vizio TV and don’t use the remote because I use the cable remote instead. I bought it several years ago and recently found the Vizio remote in a drawer. It stuck to my hand as if it had syrup on it. I recall having similar experience with other remotes in the past so I’m not blaming Vizio, only their choice of coating on the remote.
As to replacement feet for audio equipment. I had good luck with the sorbothane feet available from Audio Advisor. They completely eliminated the external hum from a McIntosh preamp.
