| your mother said: True, but then that kind of negates the inherent flexibility of a touchscreen, doesn't it? With raised bumps, you essentially are assigning button areas to the touchscreen when the beauty of having a touchscreen is its ability to adapt to whatever use the application needs it for. If the surface of the touchscreen needs to be raised in order provide tactile feedback, then what's wrong with having buttons in the first place, since it accomplishes exactly the same? Also, while any control mechanism can be learned and mastered, it doesn't necessarily mean that it's better. |
Good point. Maybe a touch screen isn't the best solution. Perhaps face buttons aren't really an issue at all.
But what do you think about a track ball in place of the primary thumb stick?
