Yes, but again, that is subjective; I'm pretty sure most Users would prefer longer use-time, with fewer distractions.

Still, this thread is aimed at those who are considering buying the upcoming DR800, which appears not to use these switches, anyway. (If so, that's a good move on iRex's part, IMHO, and you might ask yourself why iRex didn't use cap sense switches on the new model.) My point, in this thread, is to advise caution to prospective buyers regarding iRex's design and marketing practices, and I haven't seen anything yet that suggests anyone should rush out to buy.
