Buttons double firing -- please help

OK I'm ordering a bunch of new microswitches from therealbobroberts.com.
cholin:
Solderring is frowned upon because if you order some Quick Disconnects for $6, you have better contact and it's easier to remove.  Basically, its the idea that you don't have to take apart the whole thing to replace a switch or two, instead, you pull the connect off and slide it onto another switch.  Solderring is fine, but QDs are cheap and reliable.

Where'd you get them for that cheap?
cholin:
The quick disconnects?  Peale has a link in his sig and if you look under Connectors, he sells them by the bag of 100.  I plan on buying some when I get some cash in the good ol paypal account :)

EDIT: Sorry, I said Paige, meant Peale, fixed.

Well I found a new unused cherry switch in my garage from a 3 player start button I never got around to installing.  I replaced one of the buttons that always 'skipped', installing it with no soldering.  I haven't been able to get it to happen yet in about 100 clicks.  So it looks like it must be that my switches are bad.  10,000,000 click MTF ---my bottom---.  :P  Very odd.  Maybe overheating them with the soldering gun was the catalyst that accelerated their premature failure.  ???

Thanks for all the help.  :)
