This is an excellent video. The problem I had was the prongs on the switch I got from Radio Shack were too small. When I tried to twist them they would break off therefore I am returning my Chameleon so you can replace this for me. Can you provide another link to a switch with longer prongs that will fit.
Thank you Martha! I'm glad you liked it.
Here's the buttons that are perfect. Tact Switch Vertical Shaft length: 3.5mm | Distributed By MCM | BTS-1102B (BTS1102B)

Wonderful video I am sure it will prove useful to many, should a switch replacement become necessary.
I opened mine up to take a peek and it's really not as bad as it looks to get into.
Just lay the pieces on the table in order you take them out and then reverse.. easy cheesy.

It's pretty easy really, took about 15 or 20 minutes, would probably take less time if I ever have to do it again. Tweezers come in handy for the reassembly.
Since the unit is warrantied for a year, Isaac will be servicing my unit should it fail. At which time I will order a couple of spare switches, for future use.
What I like about this video, compared to the first one he did, this one is self explanatory and user friendly. I am not being a Fanboy here, but this is the little extra (video) that places Ikenvape a notch above the rest.

I don't see any fanboy'ism out of that Switch. I see a very nice compliment. 
Thank you very much! Fanboy-ism is me telling you something along of lines of "Global warming is a myth and World peace is in effect" and your reply would be, "Wow Isaac! You Are the man! It's amazing how you do all of these things, please take my money. NOW!" 
It is an easy job and pretty fun to boot. It's more like a crabby patty. Sorry Spongebob is on Tv ugh. Lol Regardless, I'm still here for you guys and when it comes to it honestly, you guys know I'll take care of you for as long as you still have it. The Year warranty is more of a guideline. Besides I practiced with mine so much to a point where I can do it under 3 minutes hehe.
Hiya Wench!!!! LOVE your Sig!! Missed ya!

IKEN, I had noticed awhile back that these switches were only rated at 50ma (0.050amps)... I figured that the Chameleon had a switch that must be rated higher because you need a switch that is rated at 3amps to cover most all of the voltages really even a 1.5amp switch would be fine. Just curious, I know they still work just fine they just don't last a very long time (you can't gt the full number of rated clicks due to the MUCH higher voltage).
