Although this guide states the soles cannot be removed and successfully replaced and you must therefore purchase them before you begin. this PREREQUISITE guide goes over removal and replacement... They aren't cheap, so you may wish to go there first.

Putting a tiny kink into the metal dome worked perfectly. And I already had a roll of Kapton tape on hand. I never would've realized the little dome was only held on by the tape if not for this guide. Just figured the tape was there to prevent shorting on top or something. That thought made little sense once I saw a bunch of these buttons available and designed without tape but a metal case instead.
