Can i also use a 4 pin 6x6x6mm tactile Button for replacing the short mode button or must I use a 2 Pin button?

You can try, I was originally going to use one but it was a lot hard to align everything up and you have to shave the plastic on the shell a little bit :)

I cut the end off a long button and simply super-glued it to the short button. Worked for me (for now) ...

i have orderd last week the buttons from aliexpress (like your example)

But I think till they shipping them it will pass 2 weeks or so... How long they make holidays for the Chinese new year? :shock:

Yeh it should be over by next week! :) really annoying that the buttons were too short in the first place.. hopefully I can get it right next time! You could also use any button you have and glue it in there and just solder little wires to the PCB where the old one was
