Default Key issue

I received 2 key fobs, Kessi keys (flip open key) and a straight key all in a set when I purchased my 2015 push button start.
The key fob, weather in pocket push button start or using key in ignition, works every single time, but the straight key does not work but 1 out of 15 - 20 times. Used to work no worries.
What could be the issue?.

there is a process to "relearn" the key, it still has a litle transponder in it that might have lost sync. Also, NEW battery is first step.

This is a straight key, no battery, that I know of. I cannot find the exact key online. Weird!
