Man, I hope I get old!
With my classmate recently dying, due to cancer, I'm realizing that I might not be as lucky as I once thought I would be.
I used to always think I would live to be 90, but there's no guarantees in life.
Sorry for being a downer.

@sb: Did you order it when it was first available?
Or is shipping to your location extra slow?

It’s a bad combination of rather slow shipping + insanely slow customs. But in the end it always arrives, and I come into the project thread in position #44654 and post about how great it is.
Talk about preaching to the choir.

Yes sir, and seriously, although there are disadvantages, don’t you guys find it easier to appreciate things, just simple things? I hope so. I know I do.

I would like to use my code and get the new optic with a glass lens packed in the shipment. So I just order, pay and then email Neal?
Thanks.

Is there a way to add a message into the order itself? I can’t remember.

Nice. Hopefully I won’t have to mess with the switches on my incoming FW3A’s, but I want to have a plan. Did you glue the new nubbin in place?

I need to make the switch stiffer to activate, but I don’t know how…

What if you remove the ‘nubbin’?
Does that make it reliably stiffer / harder to activate?
Or just stiffer / harder?

Remove the metal part of the switch. If that’s still too easy. Remove the nubbin’. Doing this has renewed my relationship with the light. Accidental activation and lockout woes almost divorced us. There’s hope for happily ever after now.

Can the fast clicks still be accomplished with the nubbin and metal part removed?

You mean remove the metal button?
Also I’ve heard the light doesn’t work without the nubbin.
I’ll try.
Update: indeed it works, I just wonder about the longevity of the rubber. Also if waterproofness is impacted. And it doesn’t look so good.

We just gave a bunch of ideas for this in the FW3A Troubleshooting thread. Start here and read down the posts.
BTW, the switch won’t work at all without the nubbin.

They can, but with the nubbin it’s more precise.

I’ve read all the troubleshooting thread but there’s nothing conclusive about the switch yet.
Also I tried without the nubbin and the switch works, but only when pressed right in the center and with a little more force than normal.
