Now you know why you’ve been saving them… LOL

Yes, the “eraser” or “nub” attached to the back of the rubber switch boot, it’s not hitting directly center on the internal switch because the switch is off center. On mine there also was too much gap between that nub and the switch I was having to press really hard to even work the switch.

No tear down at all, you don’t even have to open the light. All done from the outside of the light. The rubber boot can be pried out easily with a small screwdriver, I sort of “pulled” from the edge with the screwdriver tip, being VERY careful not to poke a hole through it.
You probably could also use small plier or tweezer and just pull it out, but I wasn’t comfortable with doing that because it seemed a higher possibility to poke through the rubber. But I could be wrong the rubber may be tougher than I think it is.
Maybe better if you have one of those plastic tools for working on cell phones, I have those somewhere but I couldn’t find them so I used a small metal flat blade screwdriver.
No need to glue the disc, I didn’t glue mine and komeko said nothing about gluing, but it was an idea I had. It would be best to try first without gluing to get the correct thickness of the plastic, if it’s too thick it will be too sensitive. When you get it to your liking you could glue it, but I don’t see it being necessary at this point.
It’s best if you have a caliper or micrometer to measure the thickness of the plastic so you can try different thicknesses to get it right. Those bread tabs come in different thicknesses, the one I have in it now was the thicker type, I may try one a bit thinner at some point because it’s quite sensitive now.
Make the disc a little smaller than the opening, then just lay the disc in the opening (over top of the internal switch button) then tuck the rubber boot back in under the rim.
For me it worked great, works every click - every time, no problem. Completely fixed it, went from “un-usable hate it” to “use it every day - luv it” :heart_eyes:
