Seems like the quality of the buttons might be a weak spot with Kobo.

Yeah, in my case it is the same as your Libra. One feels good, the other is a bit mushy (when it isn't also getting stuck because I pressed the good one).
It's sad to hear that your Libra also has that feeling, since it should be improved over the Forma. At the very least, the "hinge" should be better kept in place by the Libra's case, which should help.

My question was partly to see if it was common enough that I'd just be playing a lottery with a replacement. I guess not this particular problem?
The design flaw is using a single piece and expecting it to flex on the ends while remaining rigid in the middle without adequate support, IMO. With good tolerances it shouldn't pose a problem in the real world, but with anything related to tolerances, a single sample doesn't tell you much.
