It is not meant to be taken apart...Any troubles with it, contact Tim at info@v3tronix.com and he will get you taken care of. If it is authentic of course.
+1 on contacting V3tronix first, however there is a youtube video floating around of how to disassemble and reassemble the switch. Be warned!! Taking the switch apart may void your warrenty.
After seeing their professionalism on display, I would hate being tethered to a company like that for repairs.
I'd pass on anything from V3tronix.

I ended up with a V3 Flip, and it wasn't until after I got it that I found out about the public hissy fit they threw.....And I also was not aware that the switch could not be dissassembled (I HATE that.....)......goes to show you what happens when you don't do your homework prior to making a puchase!!
Non-user serviceable parts kinda goes against the whole idea behind mechs in the first place, imo
Found a fix for the crunchyness of it. It can be taken apart although it is a press fit and I do not reccomend it. Remove the o ring and soak the switch in spray contact cleaner and work it several times. Dry it and enjoy. Fixed mine up in about 30 seconds.
I'll agree, but, for me, it was just too damn good looking a mod to pass up. It reminds me of signet rings used to seal letters.
It can be taken apart, but it's a pain as there's a ball bearing sitting atop a spring just inside the side of the button itself.
Does the switch use magnets or a spring? Also has anybody been Ble to upgrade the switch to magnets if it is a spring?
It uses a spring, and is not meant to be taken apart. If you are having trouble with an authentic switch, contact v3tronix. Super customer service

How did you get it apart? I tried pulling it apart with pliers but all I did was break off little pieces of the contact...
It can be taken apart, but it shouldn't be taken apart by anyone other than someone over at V3Tronix. You'll have to read the fine print on the warranty card, but I believe that taking the switch apart voids it.
I dont mind losing the warranty since I can buy any other part that breaks. Any clues on how to get it apart? People are saying its press fitted theres no way its press fittes this tightly.
I also don't think you can buy the switch or switch contacts.

From what I've seen it's a matter of pressing the ball bearing below the lip of the switch housing, then working the button past the ball bearing. Once that happens you can simply pull the button from the housing. There is a small spring that the ball bearing sits on, so be careful not to lose that.
