    Mine is the same. I guess all Q5's have the stiff power button.

    I doesn't get easier to press over time.

    Yes it's awful but I can just hold the "k" letter for one second, that can lock my device instead of the power button, and I don't have to use it when I want to unlock it, just swipe up from the bottom edge..

    Just to try level things out, mine is quite squishy and works very well. Have had no problems with it.

    The Q5's tapered shape makes it difficult to use. More than any other phone, I believe the Q5 needs a case. I taped mine up with grip tape, but a case is the better option. And I'd imagine it would improve button presses considerably (if you're having trouble).

    It was so initially (1.5 years back), now it has settled down. The silicone cover helped with the initial phase.

    I second this. The hard case is awesome on the Q5. Pretty cheap on Amazon nowadays too.

    Mines hard to press as well, but I never use it.
    For a case I picked up the Melko flip case and really like it. The oem BlackBerry flip case was pretty bad though, IMO
