    Default Stiff buttons

    One of my buttons is a bit stiff. It's not unusable, but noticeable. Is there any way to take the button apart so I can clean out any dirt/grime that's probably accumulated in there? Or would it just make more sense to replace the button altogether?

    Open the control panel and unscrew the plastic "nut". The button should pop right out. You should be able to clean it and get it working better; if not, new ones are a buck or two.
