Has anyone else noticed that the paddles on the new v2.5 switches are not always balanced (ie. top will have more resistance than the bottom and in some cases it's so out of wack that you need to press really hard on the button for it to respond).
On several of my switches I have had to pop off the paddle and adjust the springs that control the balance to fix this problem. Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this

That sounds like the problem I have with almost all of my Icon switches. I hope they haven't changed the paddle design on the Insteon ones to match the Icons...

I had a few older rev ones with the spring out of place and the paddle BENT it as it was sideways in the housing.

I have not heard of this before but I have sent a note to our QC department.

We're also having problems with the air gaps of the newer switches. They don't stick in the off position at all.

This was addressed and fixed. A small portion of product left the warehouse with this issue.

Several of my Icon switches that have been in for several months are now starting to experience problems with the paddles. You now have to hit either the top or bottom much harder or 2 or 3 times to toggle on or off. Bet those little microswitches are starting to wear out. This seems to be a developing problem with several of my friends also.
Smarthome's QC people need to look at the mechanical hardware specs or perhaps the offshore manufacturer they are now using...
