    I have found that you sometimes have to hold it down - especially when running on battery - but no real issues here.

    It's not hard to press down at all, just a little pressure.

    Well, yea, not hard to press, but you really have to hold it for 2+ seconds right?

    But it's oh so beautiful when you see the little blue light shining at you, like a smile. And yes you have to hold it down to power up, but thankfully you just do one quick simple push to turn it off.

    It's that way so you don't accidentally turn it on and use up your batteries etc...

    That was my assumption as well. I can't imagine this causing a problem for anyone...

    It's like your cell phone.... you hold the button for a second or two before it powers off or on.... a good feature.
