Is it possible to get a replacement button? It's the one that floats under the trigger lever. Or.. any tips on how to fix the button I have?

Basically.. I'll pull the trigger, guns start firing, and when I let go the guns keep firing until I push the trigger lever forward a little bit. It happens about 50% of the time.

If you bought it from VKBcontrollers.com, feel free to start warranty claim ticket here for further troubleshooting and keeping track: https://vkbcontrollers.com/?page_id=1118

I bought it second-hand, so I have something to use while I wait for the gunfighters to get in stock

Can I order a replacement button, at my own cost?

The switch under button plastic cover can be replaced with OMRON B3F series micro switch (I guess the original is one these), but this involve solder.

But a good chance the problem will not be caused by the switch, but the by the plastic part that press the switch, this cover can be get stuck in their ring. I suggest inspect this part, see in the linked pictures how is.

When done this inspection, test the micro switch pressing the coil without the cover and observe if get suck.

The trigger press the plastic cover > that press the spring > that press the micro switch.

Look at this "factory tuning" done in the plastic cover of Javelin (Gladiator OEM), maybe is need in your case:

You can try stretch the spring under the plastic cover a bit for increasing their action.

Here is a quick workaround that might help alleviate the issue:

It seems as if the trigger's magnet is a tad too strong, and holds on to the button, so either glue an M3 washer directly onto the button's surface, or if you prefer, use some electric tape instead. The idea here is that this makes the button a little less magnetic so the trigger should not hold on to it so tightly.

Give that a try and let us know...

A strip of electrical tape solved the problem. Thanks for the suggestion
