> Yeah that's key. Even just a little dimple on one side that you could search for in the dark. Right now it's trial and error.

Well, as I understand it, they won't be able to modify the shape of the remote's casing no matter what. And it's been argued that you can feel for the IR window or the battery hatch if you want. This is a good argument.

My opinion is that if there's going to be tactile asymmetry, it needs to be on the buttons themselves since that's the ergonomically correct way to do it. The best suggestion I heard was to have a "nipple" on the Enter button (what would correspond to the DNPP button on the current remote).

I don't know if Empeg would even be able to do that with their current manufacturer, though. I don't know how the keypads on these remotes are made, or whether that sort of thing is even possible.
