The buttons, or whatever you want to call them, are located below the glass front. So there is absolutely no way to feel them, you only feel smooth, flat glass. You can adjust the pressure required to activate them via a menu, and you activate them by pressing on the glass or squeezing the glass. There is no physical feedback as to whether you activated the buttons, however you can use the menu to set a vibration to occur to have some feedback. There are multiple feedback levels of vibration, but none are that obvious to me when I use them.
