Must be something to do with the capacitive buttons which, all in all, probably don't add anything to the device.
I guess that's related to EMI (eletro magnetic interference) generated from USB cable or laptop. I've once had my DR under fluorescent light, and the high EMI from the light made the capacitive sensor unusable.
