How to make trigger buttons smooth as butter:

The problem is that there is no grease on the plastic-on-plastic movement of the triggers. I did that for both my controllers (maybe I should have made a video...):

1. Remove the 2 face plates and batteries
2. Remove the 6 screws of the controller and open it up
3. Get yourself non conducting grease (like this one)
4. Apply one small dot of grease at all these areas http://imgur.com/bv5wEWN (basically everywhere plastic slides on plastic)
5. Action the trigger many times to distribute the grease
6. Re-assemble the controller, and enjoy stick-free triggers.

I really wish Ouya would have done that first-hand. It is a very easy thing to fix that would not have cost them much... Hope that helps!

For countryman E6s, we ALWAYS make sure to use the response caps to keep makeup out of the diaphragm. Also, the cables run about $60, as you know. Making sure people are careful with them is our biggest problem here, we burn through cables like candy when we do kids shows.

For especially sweaty actors we like to use dielectric silicone (https://www.amazon.com/Permatex-22058-Dielectric-Tune-Up-Grease/dp/B000AL8VD2) to seal the connection between the headset and the cable. Keeps everything nice and waterproof but still conducting.

I have owned a set of 12 E6s for about 8 years now, they very rarely fail on me. But replacement cables are a MUST!

That's because it is. Here's a link from Amazon to what i bought. I didn't buy it from them but this should help you find what you're looking for. https://www.amazon.com/Permatex-22058-Dielectric-Tune-Up-Grease/dp/B000AL8VD2/ref=asc_df_B000AL8VD2/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312442771380&hvpos=1o3&hvnetw=g&hvrand=10022791917271641768&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9015360&hvtargid=pla-434092625191&psc=1

Don't focus too much on the fact that it's used for cars. It can be used for general electronics.
