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 They can be nice on things like kitchen appliances that need to be waterproof or would otherwise be difficult to clean. Of course, sensitivity and placement needs to be such that the risk of accidental activation is low.
