Cool. I got a button I'ma try that on!

nice fix.

not to take anything away from the fix.. especially since in your vid you said that you feel the fix works better than the original button.. But as long our not trying to buy black ones or something, the original grey and clear buttons are like 2 and 3 bucks on VST's website.

I had the same problem on two of my clear buttons, I'll probably try the double-sided tape fix when I go in to replace my pads (thanks VST!), but for the time being, what worked for me is cutting a little piece of cardstock or thick flyer-style paper, folding it over, and inserting it in between the button and the metal cover, on the weak side where the button fell into. Now I just touch the paper (crease-side up) and find that the paper gives, so I'm not putting undue pressure on the button, and it's just as responsive, if not more. If I was performing with it, it might work, but to be safe I'd do a semi to legit fix, otherwise good to g o.
