Disappointing for a Kershaw Auto

I've had a Gerber 06 since as my weekend EDC since 2018 and is what I'm basing this knife off of. The Launch Iridium is a nice knife, slim profile for more of a workplace carry, but the button is terrible. You have to push the button flush in order to activate it, but the button is short and the surrounding area is raised, so this isn't easy to engage. Good luck if you have gloves on. I would expect this from a Chinese Kershaw, just not the US made one. Everything else about the knife is great.
