V5 buttons are unresponsive and/or difficult to trigger

hi @aaron.oz - This post might give you some info-ideas:

Re-carbon silicone buttons - V5 buttons might need this in future years

I have not had any problems with my V5 silicone button pad, but if it wears out, this video about rejuvenating remote buttons with graphite might come in handy: Re-carbon your Remote Control - the ultimate rejuvenation method for any remote control [Re-carbon your Remote Control - the ultimate rejuvenation method for any remote control]

You really shouldn’t need it yet - maybe you got a marginal silicone pad or your control board has gotten oxidized. The traces under the pad buttons should be nice and shiny. You could check if the pad buttons are conductive as they should be with an ohm-meter AKA DMM - Digital MultiMeter. I don’t know what’s normal - I’d guess under 5 ohms.
