Does anyone *really* like "touch controls" on anything?
When you see "touch controls" on earbuds, lights, appliances... are you like "heck yeah! no buttons!"
I just think they are cheaper to make IPx4+ than other methods of control. But, they are always highlighted like it's a feature.
(And why is IPV6 so similar to IPX6 making me confuse them all the time?)
@futurebird It depends. In my car or on a remote or something like that? Absolutely not.
The buttons on my stove, though? I actually like those being capacitive. So much easier to wipe down.
Also prefer them on ear wireless earbuds. The ones I had with physical buttons, I felt like I was driving them down into my ear canals when I operated them.
I think it really depends on the application and the thought and care that went into the design, and it's something that can be done well.
