I think most people will get used to it..
It surely is different and may not suit everyone but it is not a bad button so I don't think it is fair to make a blanket statement it will cause trouble using the shutter button to focus... Some people won't even notice the difference.
I didn't notice until I read the 'mush' comments. I don't have a finger made of carbonite; I just haven't ever had trouble half pressing buttons. The point where half-press ends still feels defined to me. I find the difference is in the travel after that point...

Originally posted by TomTextura I wonder if it needs a break in period. Hopefully the action improves with some use.
...I am afraid no amount of use will make the button feel like the button on my K-5 :^|
More likely that, with a break in period, your habit conforms to the button :^)
