You will be seeing this for sale, re-packaged and sold for who knows what.
It's like those cork pces with the rubber wrap for isolation used by air conditioner installers who don't pay much for such but the same or similar product re-packed and sold as audio isolation through companies for stuppid money.
A little of topic;
I have a micro scope and was at a friends place who wanted to check it out what his stylus looked like.
While looking at the pic on my lap top it was pretty scary with all kinds of goo on it. I told him all I use is a magic eraser to clean.
His wife had some by chance, we cut a wedge and lowered the stylus several times. You could see brown stuff being left behind onto the eraser.
Took another look using the scope and nice and clean.
He's a believer now, his controller was also making a bit of noise and we just cut some pces for the heck of it and placed underneath, gone just like you mention above.
