Key Fob

I just got the Model 3 key fob (I know many would argue it’s unnecessary) and I noticed the buttons on it are hard to press - particularly the button to lock and unlock the car. There is a lot of resistance and it requires a very hard press for it to click. Is this normal or is there some kind of break-in period?
 
From the videos I watched on YouTube, when the buttons are pressed on the key fob you can hear a very pronounced "click." However, when I press on my key fob it is very faint - especially the middle button to lock/unlock. Is this the case for anyone else?
 
I thought the buttons were hard to press also. Turns out, I was most likely not pressing the right spot on the fob.

Bought this from Amazon and pressed where the red icons are:

Haven't had a problem since and the buttons on my fob do make a pronounced click.
