I use it all the time, and every time I use it, I just think about how much better it could be. It's not killing me, but I'm just like, it could be better.

610: More Values in the Darkness

What do you need to change? So the D-pad, essentially, up, down, left, right, and the swipey thing in the middle. I know you can disable the swipey thing in the middle, but enabling allows you to swipe through things faster, but disabling it allows you to use the ring more easily. But I feel like the ring is just not as secure to me as an actual D-pad.

not really filling the negative space of my hand in the way that I want it to. I still feel like it's still a little bit small. There's advantages to being small. It looks elegant. It's good for people with small hands, but for my hands, it still feels a little bit small, a little bit fidgety.

And even the TiVo peanut grill got smaller over the years. Like, it didn't stay the same size. It's a question of striking that balance. But I feel like the thickness maybe is more important than the length and width. Just sort of like... Because it's not like, it's like, how do you grip it? It's kind of like the Apple mouse.
