You can also use any remote with the Touch/Radio that "speaks" the nec IR protocol. You update the /usr/share/jive/jive/irMap_default.lua file with the "new" codes sent for each button on the alternative remote to the jive action(s) you want. A patch installer file can be used to modify the map

If you have cleaned the landing area of the keys with a pencil eraser, maybe a bit of deoxit, and it still doesn't work, but looks ok, perhaps the carbon on the key itself has deteriorated. If you wanted to, since you have more than one, swap the keypad to see if the problem is the pcb or the k

if you mean the little hand held remote similar to all of the other ones (tv, etc) laying around... often you can open the case and clean it. The buttons consist of interlaced copper traces on the pcb board, and the silicone pad (the button) has a carbon deposit on it (usually carbon, I think?).
