There’s something even worse than touchscreens IMHO - those capacitive buttons on non-screen surfaces, like the capacitive power touch points on some monitor bezels. As a visually impaired person, these are absolutely maddening. I don’t know if anyone else gets this, but it’s almost like my brain doesn’t know how to press them. Touchscreens are fine for me, but for some reason I get major tension in my hands when trying to find these surface ‘buttons’. They’re often denoted with a tiny symbol in low contrast, just to make it even worse.
- Dextro 7y agoAgreed and they tend to get worse with age for cheaper models since the already low contrast symbol tends to fade away with time.
- skgoa 7y agoAs a visually unimpaired person, those touch buttons are just horrible. Especially so when it is a function that does not have an immediate effect. Just this morning I switched my monitor on, off and on again, simply because by the time it actually reacted, I had pressed the power button again already.

- ssully 7y agoMy dog intentionally turns on my PS4 in the morning. When she turns on the PS4 it automatically turns on the TV and will play the soothing main menu music. We aren't sure if she does it for the music, the light from the TV, or the beeping noise from when you first press the button, but she has been doing it almost every morning for the last year and a half.
