Default Infokey buttons repaired

I bought a used X2 several months ago and it came with two infokeys. One infokey worked beautifully but the second had two buttons that wouldn't "pop" when they were pressed. So I bought a set of tiny metric torx wrenches and took it apart today. Wasn't hard to get apart. Just take the back off noting where is was aligned and pry up on the electronics disc also noting here it was aligned. There is a tiny E clip on the back of the four buttons. Pry it off gently. And when I say tiny, I mean tiny, about the size of this o. Tap on the case and the button will fall out. There is a piece of metal on the shaft. Remove it and bend it a tiny bit. Re-insert it and try the button. If it doesn't "pop" bend the metal a little more. Grab the micro E clip with a pointedly set of tweezers, push in on the button to extend the shaft into the housing and push the E clip back in the groove. Reinstall the electronics disc. Reinstall the back. And wallah, all the buttons now work.
