YES BUTTONS !

- drooopy 4y agoI share your enthusiasm. Much of my frustration with modern electronics and home appliances stems from the fact that I have to use shitty touch screens and touch buttons.
- DoingIsLearning 4y agoI appreciate the frustration and I am right there with you as a user. However, it is actually hard (and costly) to manufacture and quality control physical switches that will survive the life time of a warranty + a few years (in terms of mechanical failure, dirt, corrosion, water ingress, etc.). Once you appreciate this then it is pretty easy to see how the design choices of using capacitive interfaces are a no brainer for consumer electronics and appliances. On top of it you have the marketing push of capacitive interfaces = modern.
- aussieshibe 4y agoMaybe we're almost up to "physical buttons = retro cool"? I'm certainly ready for that.
- izzydata 4y agoSoon to be a major problem in vehicles as well. Hopefully it doesn't get too difficult to find a car with buttons.
- aussieshibe 4y agoAbsolutely. How is anyone supposed to be able to safely do anything on a touchscreen while driving? That using a touchscreen while driving is legal completely baffles me.
