Mine had a broken, but not broken-off, arch leg, which I was able to repair with gorilla-brand super glue gel, and I replaced the button and all is well for now. Yay.

By the by, this seems like an excellent candidate for a replacement upgrade part made out of something like titanium. NEVER WEAR OUT YOUR DSC BUTTON AGAIN! SAVE 0.5 GRAMS! BLACK FRIDAY SPECIAL $500
You're way off using titanium. Only carbon fiber buttons will sell...because carbon fiber.
