If I were the crusading type, I'd be on a crusade against single-button interfaces. It's so annoying to have "single tap to pause, double tap to skip to next track" because the timing seems to mess up intermittently. Did I just pause the track or skip? Is the next track just starting too quietly for this environment, or did I pause?
Touch-sensitive inputs, like those on the google pixel buds pro 2, are even worse. Any touch can have weird results as it might be detected as a swipe or a long-touch.
Kudos to the Jabra earbuds I was gifted recently, they can remap the single/double/triple clicks, so a single click for me is now next track.
And as I age, I get dry skin which sometimes doesn't even register as a touch.
I'd love to see a range of accessible hardware that has actual buttons that clearly state what they do, and have visual+haptic+audio feedback which can be configured.
