A touchscreen-operated excavator. They really underscore that...

• userbinator 2y ago
  Zero tactile feedback, expensive and difficult-to-repair controls on a machine operated in a dirty environment where people usually wear gloves? I wonder how many of the people who designed that have actually used an excavator or talked to someone who does, or even just visited a construction site to experience the environment. There's plenty of discussions on how touchscreens in cars are awful, but those who design these abominations are so out of touch with reality that they don't seem to realise that. I suspect the same applies here.

    Touchscreen for settings. I see "joystick fine control", and other such. Being able to setup for speed or accuracy is a good thing for me at least (custom profiles at the top of the screen). And I'm usually not wearing gloves inside a skid steer/mini ex, unless the heater isn't working.
