Ra Clicky button issue

[greendestiny]

Anyone notice the Clickys' button becomes fat and bulges outwards from pressure building up inside when the waterproof case is screwed back on? It's happened on both of my flat buttoned Ra's and in turn has made the clicky feeling less positive.

Anyone else notice this and if so, will it slowly get sucked back in?

There's been quite a lot of discussion about this in the Ra message threads. To summarize what I believe Luxlover stated and which I found worked best for keeping it from bulging out you start screwing the tailcap on until you see it begin to bulge then back it off a turn or so. Then push down hard and sideways somewhat on the button while turning. I found I had to do a half turn or so, let up and do another half turn each time pushing down and a bit to the side. Eventually you get it all the way down and with some luck you won't have any bulge. I'm not sure if this applies to the new tail switches that don't have the side holes. Most people find the bulge goes away eventually by itself.
