My key fob buttons have always performed poorly. I finally determined that this is partially because the buttons do not actuate the switches reliably. There are two causes for this that I found: (1) the dust/water membrane is split where it contacts the switch head, just from decades of use; (2) there is simply too much of a gap between the button underside and the switch head, resulting in inconsistent actuation

I'm not sure how much of an improvement this is as I've only tested it for 5 minutes so far, but it does already seem better.
