my old one I was able to press in all the way, but the one I just had placed (was a delta, now a strata), when I press it it barely goes in and bounces back right away. So I think it just depends on the shunt. I have heard though that it can correlate with a non-functioning shunt if the reservoir deflates and is very slow to reinflate. Hope that's helpful.
