What up Void,
the button needs to be replaced. It will continue to work but after time you'll press harder and harder and eventually damage the control :cry:

The buttons don't cost much if you do it yourself...or get a "pro" :)

"I'm guessin they have 3000 replacement button also"

Not buttons, switches. Different items.

I think it is SKHVBE for the 3000 (and possibly on the same page in the mouser catalog).

I keep a bunch of buttons around for various machines. Especially the ASR-10 since they are notorious for wearing out. At the same time it is about the most difficult to get to. It's about $150 worth of assembly and disassembly to change a 30 cent switch.

Does the 3000 use two pin switches?
