Pokitto's flash button going worse

The Pokitto’s flash button nowadays needs almost always several tries before I get it to flash mode. And quite much pressure too. I am afraid that I will break something inside Pokitto as I need a lot of force to get flashing to work.

Any good tips to improve the situation?

What about the things in this thread?

The foil button really helped me for a while. Then it came loose and instead I drew over the contact with a conductive ink pen, and that helped it also… But then that’s worn off and I need to refresh it.

After installing my piece I’ve never had an issue with the button since. It’s daft but it works.

I still stand by my button dome mod :slight_smile:
Perhaps different shape contacts would help in a future board revision?
