This is going to be part of my next project log update, but I've heard a few people complain about this, so I figured it is worth a separate post.
Basically the power button sits too tightly in the cutout and the way it's designed it has to slide forward a bit when you push it, so when it's too tight the button rubs against the cutout that it's in when you push it and it feels stiff to push and you can't hear any click.
What you have to do to fix it is make the little hole that the button is held on with a little bit larger so that it as space to move around a tiny bit and that that way it isn't rubbing against the cutout any longer when you push it.
You can do it with a soldering iron and then user something that is the right size to hold the hole open as the plastic dries, but be careful, because the plastic is thin and it's easy to heat it to much and ruin the little hole all together.
