You paid $200 for an E-Grip?

wow, $200 for an e-grip, you got ripped off.

The reason they chose to use that particular switch, was because..... they had to.

Otherwise they would have had to redesign the binary encoder. The one they used is the industry standard. Surface Mounted Components (SMC), are flimsy because they have to be incredibly small and lightweight.

Thats just they way the things are made. It would require creating a special batch of binary encoders, which would bump up the price of the grips up several bucks.

and to answer your question. There is nothing you can do about it, unless you know your way around with a soldering iron very well.

But I figure if you knew that much about electronics, you wouldn't be asking these questions in the first place. You would already be educated.

Call up Tippmann and inquire about sending it in.
