These are awesome. You make me miss the days of proper physical controls with real haptic feedback. Not this touchscreen with a little vibrator in it bullshit.
I also really wish I could push those buttons now. I want to know what they feel like!
Yeah one of the reasons I even got into computers is because of the crazy satisfying tactile experience. And they all feel so bleh now. I spent good money building a mechanical keyboard that feels like I'm in a duel with a malfunctioning robot when I type just so I can feel something. When I turn a computer on I want it to feel like an event, I turned the machine on with intention
I also got into computers, thinking about it now, the tactile aspect was probably part of it. A power button making fans go whir and hard drives making slight crunchy noises and my keyboard with real springs... I miss a lot about that.
