Default Fragile S6 buttons

Is anyone else finding the chiclet style buttons on the Master Module and automation module to be unnecessarily fragile?

Yes several of have complained about that since it was released. A few instances of them actually breaking (just the key not the switch).

Needs a redesign IMO.

i used to break a button every 3 or 4 months. Avid replaced my MTM and MAM a few times. About a year ago, they replaced them and the buttons don't break. I think they fixed the buttons in a resent revision of the modules.

The buttons have had a number of improvements over the past year or so. Please contact Customer Support if you need help with any broken buttons.
