    Seems you posted an unpopular opinion.

    I prefer mechanical buttons, for essential functions of a device/ machine.

    Technology/software break down, nice to have the option of manual control.

    TV companies can hide them in the back, so that is a design problem.

      Yep. Both of my TVs have controls on the back. One has the traditional row of up/down/channel/volume/etc buttons like you’d expect, another has four buttons with a little joystick in the middle that lets you navigate the menu system. Both work fine, well enough that I can change the inputs and the volume without fumbling through menus.

        That is awesome!

        My PC display has the joystick.

        I prefer traditional, but anything is better than not having any buttons!

        Thank you for info and have a great day!
