De-senstising a remote

[CMF_LonePhantom]

Hey just a question for you all out there. I've installed the Jaycar central locking and remote immobiliser packages, and the remotes have been bugging me for some time. The lock-unlock button is super sensitive, and the slightest bump can unlock-mobilise the car. Anyone got any ideas on how to de-sensitise the buttons?

Cheers

stick it in a slightly bigger box..... to give you an impressive pocket.

No seriously, Usually you'll have a button that presses on to a micro switch on the circuit board. Does the actual button that presses on to the the micro switch have a 'nipple' that can be trimmed? or can you replace the micro switch with a more positive action one? or get a new fob.

Actually after posting this I just thought "stuff it, I'm hacking it up!" LOL

I pulled out the button rubber, the actual button part is thicker than the surrounds so I hacked a section out in the middle so that the micro switch sits a little more in it now. So far it seems a little less sensitive, but time will tell.

I'm open to more ideas just in case this one fails.
