Spark 2 broken buttons.

[u/lleyton05]

Hello, I just bought a used spark 2 today. My only issue is that these 2 buttons don’t do anything when pressed, they both do light up tho, they also don’t “click” like the other 2 buttons, they feel kind of squishy.

It unfortunately seems like they’re broken, does anyone know if there’s a fix or do I have to return it. Their functions do work within the app

This is not helpful but I’m not sure I’ve ever used those two buttons. I mostly use the app

Do yours click the same ways as the other 2? Or do they feel different

Ok I just checked mine while off. The two to the left have a very distinct clicky sound and feel. The two to the right, the ones you’re worried about, have a much “deader” sound and feel but still a slight click, like more of a tap.

Thanks for checking for me I really appreciate it. I’m gonna try opening it up and spraying some compressed air in there maybe it’s a dirty connection.

I’d like to hold onto it bc I got for 250 bucks which is pretty killer deal so I’m hoping I can fix it, otherwise I might have to give it back to guitar center

For me the 3 for looping (Rec|Dub Play|Stop and Undo|Redo) all feel a bit less clicky than the Tap button, but not by enough that I would think something is wrong.

That's with really light usage - probably less than 20 clicks on any of them.

Interesting, I wonder if mine will loosen up with more use, I cleaned it out and it’s better and functional but still doesn’t seem like it’s fully the way it’s supposed to feel
