Anybody notice the Home Button is rock solid?

Home buttons seem to be pretty inconsistent.
People complain that they are too sensitive and soft, some say they are too hard.
My 4S home button still has a pretty distinct click too it, kind of in between soft and hard. Has been that way since unboxing.

I've always heard people complain about the button or worry it was going to give out with Siri/multi-tasking use and I've never thought twice about double or even triple clicking that sucker.
My iPhone 5 button seems more crisp or clicky compared to kinda mushy on the 4S. Never had any trouble with any of them.
I don't mean this negatively and am not trying to be a jerk when I ask this. Did you remove the plastic protective sheet on the front of the phone that came on it? When I left that sheet on, I could barely push the button on the phone. Silly question I know. Just wondering. Don't flame me for asking.
lol
All good, and no I took it off it just all around feels a solid build as the poster noted above got metal backing so that's nice...knew something was different
I definitely like the fact that it's a more solid home button. Best one so far and for us that haven't gotten applecare, its a welcomed change. I've had so many issues with home buttons over the years and am looking forward to pressing this one, every chance i get.
I figured as much. but you never know. I know when I had it on for the first half hour, I kept forgetting it was there, and would try to press the button, and it wouldn't budge. Since I don't have a case/screen protector, I didn't want to take it off yet.
But i do agree, the button does feel more solid this time around (even without the factory screen sheet).
All of the physical buttons are far clickier than before. Silent switch requires more of a push and the volume buttons are better too. Step in the right direction if you ask me.
I wouldn't necessarily say harder to push as in OP's terms but yes I noticed all the buttons are much more solid and clickey. So far I'm thoroughly enjoying the iPhone with no apparent issues.
My home button was broken. Opened the box pressed the button and it was completely unresponsive. Had to return it to the Apple Store for a replacement.
Wondering if these home buttons wiggly? Go wash your hands and clean your phone and then put your thumb on your home button and see if it wiggles left and right.
Its accuracy mostly. On my i4 it was hit or miss. On my iPad 3, perfect. Thankfully it's the same thing on the i5.
No wiggle here whatsoever in any direction on my white iPhone. It is fit snugly in there.

Did you try to turn on the phone first?
jk
I like it really doesn't bother me anyway once my phones jailbroken I'll be using Zephyr
