Pygamer Buttons Broke

Post by TheDOTIC »

Hello,

I loaned one of my Pygamers (Order #2911106-7951364658) to a colleague and when he tried to change the keycaps, several of the buttons broke. The plastic top pin along with the metal flex button popped off of three of the buttons. Is there a way to fix the buttons or replace them? I have some soldering skills and a decent rework station, so I would just need the buttons. They are the Select, Start, and A buttons. If you could point me to a source, that would be great. Also, maybe let people know that the keycaps are install-once.

Thanks,

--George

oof unfortunately they are custom ordered, so we don't have replacements :/ the caps can definitely be re-placed but they do require a little delicateness, sounds like perhaps they were wrenched a bit more than necessary
