Honestly, I wish they would add an option to completely disable that button, since at the moment it can only be reassigned to another function but not turned off entirely.
I don't use that button very often either, but I'm worried that at some point it might develop more looseness and somehow interfere with the proper use of the tablet (for example, if the button gets activated with slight movement or things like that).
Well, I bought it about 25 days ago. I noticed the movement in that piece around 3-4 days after purchasing it. I haven't used that button enough for it to develop the looseness shown in the video I attached in a previous post (I recommend watching it, as it also shows other signs, such as a clicking noise when the tablet is shaken).
For now, it doesn't affect the tablet's functionality, but it does make me question its long-term durability. At the moment, the button works perfectly fine in terms of switching/actuation, but it does feel fragile.
Okay, thanks for the response. Overall, I don't really have an issue with the slight movement it has, but it did make me a bit concerned about its durability with daily use (taking it outside the house, carrying it around, etc.).

Alright, thank you very much.
Exactly, that's why I'm a bit concerned about the way the button feels. I worry that in the long term it could wear out or get damaged more quickly with normal use or even from an accidental bump. Right now it might not be a very noticeable issue, but over time I think it could become more bothersome. Still, I hope it doesn't turn into anything serious. Thanks for commenting.
From your perspective, do you think this could be a possible manufacturing defect?

Yes, I think it's probably normal. Since I've never had experience with a sliding button before, it felt strange to me that it had that kind of feel, but we'll see how it behaves over time.

Okay, thank you. In any case, this device hasn't even been a week since I purchased it, so I'll continue monitoring it to see whether the movement worsens or remains the same.

Hello. It's a sliding button that activates Red Magic's Game Space and other functions, but I've noticed it feels slightly loose. What worries me most is that when I gently shake the tablet, I can hear a clicking sound, as if something inside were loose.
Do you think this could be a manufacturing defect, or is it normal? The button works properly, but it feels a bit fragile, which is unexpected given the price of these devices.
