Pebble 2/2HR Replacement Button Kit
Â
This comprehensive button replacement kit solves the notorious button degradation issue affecting Pebble 2 and Pebble 2 HR smartwatches. The design features a dual-material approach for optimal functionality and durability:
Â
What's Included:
- Base components (left and right sides) designed for rigid materials like PLA or ABS
- Four individual button replacements (3 for right side, 1 for left side)
- Custom alignment jigs for precise assembly and gluing
Â
Key Features:
- Engineered to match the original Pebble 2/2HR button layout and feel
- Buttons can be printed in flexible TPU/TPE for tactile response or rigid materials for durability
- Two-part design ensures proper button action and prevents future degradation
- Easy to install with included alignment jigs for perfect positioning
Â
Printing Recommendations:
- Base components: Print in rigid material (PLA, ABS, PETG)
- Buttons: Print in flexible TPU/TPE (85A-95A shore hardness recommended) for best feel
- Jigs: Print in the same material as the base for consistent fit
Â
Assembly Instructions:
- Insert the individual button pieces into their corresponding slots in the base components
- Apply a few small drops of super glue to the clean Pebble watch side
- Carefully position and press the assembled base (with buttons) onto the glued watch surface (Being carful not to get any glue on the buttons themselves)
- Repeat the process for the other side of the watch
- Place the appropriate jigs on both sides of the watch to protect the buttons
- Use a vice to gently clamp the assembly together while the glue dries
- The jigs are specifically designed to prevent button compression during clamping
- Allow sufficient time for the glue to fully cure
- Once dry, remove from the vice and jigs
- The result should be a perfect flush fit with no gaps, restoring full button functionality

This kit provides everything needed to restore full functionality to your Pebble 2/2HR, extending the life of these beloved smartwatches that would otherwise be rendered unusable by deteriorating buttons.
P.S Note that this also supports both body shapes of the Pebble 2/2HR, as you can see in the final photos, the one with the slight incline at the ends and the one without.
