To anyone designing low-tech user interfaces: I'm all for something simple but please, oh please, use something with a better feedback than the membrane "keyboard" shown in the article. Membrane keys are the absolute shittiest piece of shit ever produced. I use three everyday: my safe has one. My projector's remote control and my LED strip light (I use a LED strip to give a "home cinema" feel to the room) has one. The one on the safe, thankfully, at least emits a "beep" every time a press registers. Doesn't make it great by any means but there's that. On the projector there's a delay between any press and the projector giving you any feedback, so you don't know if a press registered or not. I do honestly think, and I'm not a big smartphone fan, that a virtual keyboard on s smartphone's screen with haptic feeback (where the phone vibrates a bit when you "press" a key) is infinitely better than membrane keyboards. Now I'm not saying everything should be replaced with screens+haptic feedback: what I'm saying is membrane keyboard are the worst piece of shit man ever invented. On the other hand my alarm system has buttons (zero screen): one button, one function. And the feedback on these buttons is perfect. It's bliss. Same in my ultra high end, but thankfully nine years old, car: one button, one function. And when you press that button you know it's been pressed. Perfection. (I say "thankfully nine years old" because the very same car brand/model now uses screens everywhere instead of buttons). So you can have two exactly identical looking user interface and, without trying, it's impossible to tell if it's a complete piece of shit or not (well, these membranes things: you kinda spot them from a mile): you need to actually press the buttons to know. Membranes are the opposite of perfect user experience: they're mediocre turds.
