one doesn't lock?
Title: Re: MX Lock Switches Group Buy (Shipped)
Post by: elton5354 on Thu, 06 February 2014, 16:34:56: It locked, but it is very hard to press. The others are very smooth.

Is there a way to put it back? I opened another one but it doesn't lock after I assembled it back. Figuring it out right now..

Heh, the first thing I did when I got them was open one up as well. Thankfully it reassembled just fine…
