I just hate the feeling of the spring vibration and the metal boing sound when i'm bashing the buttons :soapbox:
Not sure if anyone else had a clear moment like i had ( i searched) but this is how i fix this annoying problem.
I grab some cotton, the stuff women use to take their make up off.
I roll a very fluffy thin cigar and put it into the spring. When it's inside pluck it a little bit to make it expand even more. You just need a little bit, too thick and pressing the buttons will be heavier.
Done, the buttons will feel super sturdy now :notworthy:
We can continue to bash all day long, my favorite hobby ;D

Or you can just stretch the spring a little :)

What Franco said. No need to turn your pushbuttons into tampons.

Hahahahha, jeez. Ya all don't use cotton for things that aren't hygenic-related or whatever? Anyways, though a redesign would be preferred, I like this silencer idea.

This is the first time I have heard of this "boing" issue.

The buttons on my old X-arcade do it..... not that big of deal in my opinion.
It's one of the originals, had it for years now, never been an issue.

I like the springy effect. It is more authentic. ;D

If Nokia is allowed to make an Always cellphone we can make tampon buttons :laugh2:
Silencer buttons sound a lot cooler than tampon buttons.
In a few years this will be a standard in all cabs, i'm just a few years ahead of the rest ;D
