The disappearance of "buttons" seems inevitable. Is full touch screen the general trend?

1. Source of the touch screen (rice cooker)

starts with our designers: as the market for lighting equipment needs to be constantly updated, the use of lighting equipment in the industry is slightly less innovative. So one day when our designers were using a rice cooker at home, they touched the rice cooker's touch screen button and suddenly had the bright idea to apply the rice cooker's touch screen button to the LED Par light.

1. No physical keys can also use software to achieve a variety of operations, such as strobe, self-walking, and master-slave machines.
2. Multi-touch (two or more) can be used to display different effects in multiple channels. This allows stage lighting to have exceptional special effects and presentation.
3. The operation object displayed is consistent with the input object and has a direct operation, as if we are controlling the stage lights in our hands, just like magic.
4. The integration of input and display can realize the miniaturization of the machine, and the degree of freedom of design is relatively high. Therefore, the stage lighting is very portable, easy to carry, and beautiful appearance and unique design, popular among young people.
5. There will be no cracks like keyboards, switches, etc., in the garbage, dust, water, etc.

3. Comparison between touch and button

The buttons and the touch screen give people a different feeling. For users who like the experience of the hand feel, the buttons feel more attractive.

Some people like to poke something that reacts, such as pinching potato chips, pinching bread slices, etc. In this regard, the single feel of the touch screen cannot be compared with that of the buttons.

Different keys have different "keystrokes". The experience is different for how deep you can press a key; the strength of the key response to you can also be adjusted. At the same time, different materials will bring different touch feelings. And so on, the most important thing is that the buttons can be operated blindly because of their intuitive feel, that is, you can operate them based on your proficiency and feel without seeing them. This is completely impossible with the touch screen.

Touch screens have three advantages:

The first is aesthetics. The touch screen is more beautiful and coordinated than the buttons in process design, more in line with the image of its high-end smart products, and can better meet consumers' needs for beauty.

The second is intelligence. The accuracy of the touch screen is mainly determined by the internal electronic environment and the quality of the electronic components. In addition to these two factors, the accuracy of the button technology also depends on the quality of the buttons. For example, incomplete and sag buttons can easily affect its operation’s accuracy.

The third is waterproof and durable. Simply say, there is a corresponding trigger mechanism under the push button, and the button itself and the body will also have a small gap, which will be limited in terms of waterproof, stain resistance, and durability, and it is not easy to clean.

Although the waterproof function can be further improved by improving the internal structure of the machine, the improvement of the internal structure also means that the price of the machine will rise, the touch-screen type can be integrated with the body, and there is no water ingress problem caused by the subtle gap between the buttons. Better anti-fouling ability.

However, modern touch screen technology has been very advanced. The common capacitive touch screens on the market are extremely durable and support multi-touch. The practicality and ease of use are higher than buttons.

Finally, I want to say that whether it is a touch screen or a button, durable and easy to use is the kingly way.
