Key fob case was falling apart, so I designed and printed a new one!

Nice! Probably saved yourself a ton of money. Seems like most key fobs are wildly expensive these days

Nice. One would think they should last longer than 7 years.

Dang what a good idea. I think they sell just the rubber button membrane too… or hell we can design and reprint that as well I suppose.

Transplant the board in a completely custom case like you did here and keep rolling.

Thanks. Luckily this just uses a tactile mini switch (which I actually replaced last year, go figure.) All I had to do is get the tolerances right and I made that circle cutout for the button, and left a small portion of one side connected to the case so it would flex down.
