Volume rocker button mushy?

[Ozark_8125]

Are your tablets volume rocker buttons crisp? Mine is 'mushy' and doesn't seem to spring back to it's normal position well.

Mine seem to be crisp. It does make a clicking sound if that's what you're asking. I can feel a little "give" when it springs back.

MIne were a little mushy at first, but seem to get better with use. This was with both of the tablets I got from amazon.

No - mine is 'mushy' on one side, crisp on the other. The two don't actuate the same.

Mine is mushy.

wonder if a bunch are sloppily put together or if it's lousy by design.

Were you able to solve this? The volume up button on the volume rocker is mushy on mine. I can feel it barely, push down if I look for it, but it goes so far down that its flush on that side, with the plastic back plate.

Would this be a legitimate reason to ask for a replacement via warrenty? Or is this too common for that.

I may wait and see if it gets worst. If anything it just makes volume up harder to bump by accident. But I find it annoying just the same. >_>

Yeah I don't know what to do next about it, but I guess we have to live with it. Kind of disappointed with that but realize the reviewers might 'overlook', some things in order to keep manufacturers happy...

Mine is exactly the same way. I got mine from a local best buy. Seems the solution is "deal with it"

My volume button is okay but the power button is definitely mushy. I am on the fence as to what to do about it. Although it is not a big deal at present I am worried that it could be a sign of problems in the future. If my power button were to stop working in say 3 months time and I tried to RMA it I think there would be a good chance that ASUS would say that it is 'customer induced damage'. Other than that my Infinity is perfect - I am not sure whether this would be a crazy thing to return it for

I see this as potentially problematic. Does anyone have a teardown of this thing? I'd be interested in if this is an easy fix or should i return it and try another one (still within my 14 day return window)

my gf's is the same way. in fact, the power button has 0 spring back in it. seemingly just stays down flush with the chassis. it works, but feels odd. luckily the buttons on mine are all springy and feel fine.

The volume buttons on my TF700 absolutely suck and are difficult to use. I have to press hard just to get them to respond. The power button is fine however.
I think over time the volume buttons would just stop working altogether at this rate...

I dont really use my volume rockers. I use an app called Audio Manager Pro which has widgets to set the volume for specific sounds. All up, silent, just for movies, just for music, etc. You can set up a widget for anything you want. If you want to watch a movie, and dont want to hear the alert notifications, you can set up preset for that as well. Its a great app and usually one of the first apps i install when i set up my devices.

Is there a case on it that's making it feel mushy?

 

[Thats OK]

The little buttons are kind of useless.
That volume rocker is difficult to operate for this user.
I can never figure out whats up and whats down.
Mobiletechreview kind of raved about the volume rocker being better.
I wish it was on the right upper side in landscape with the Asus logo on the bottom.
Also I wish the power button was on the left upper side in landscape (Asus logo and port on bottom)

These buttons being on the top edge IMO is the worst spot for them.
...and again that 40 pin keyboard dock port provided with no micro USB alternative
is a total pain in the ass...

I think they pushed out a bad batch of tabs with defective rockers. They don't have these in our town locally anywhere, so I can't check another unit, but the replacement I got from amazon was just as bad as the previous one. I would love it if someone could find one that felt right to know if this is by design or a general fault.

Takes awhile getting use to as I have big hands. They should of had two separate buttons for volume IMO - Mushy-YES !

 

[Thats OK]

Mmmmm...
Does "mushy" mean unresponsive?
