Sounds good but I'm a little suspicious of the soft-touch button. Isn't it a little squishy and hard to manipulate compared to a hard button?

Truthfully its not that squishy....more like a padded hard button.... these reels are not hard to manipulate. I have two of them and they are definately worth the cost.

The button is neither soft nor mushy. After using the reel for 5 minutes you'll be just fine. Should replace your spinning reels. This reel is as accurate as you want it to be. Very long casts. Start with short casts away from limbs and docks. After 3 or 4 casts you'll see what i mean.

I have five of these reels and the soft touch button is great. I've used my reels hard catching 5-9 lb stripers and no problems with the buttons at all.

I wouldn't be too concerned about the button. I had no problems with it. Just be careful what type of rod you put it on. They have decreased the rail to foot distance and it is longer than the old zebcos. I wanted to put it on an old garcia pistol grip rod and the grip is a separate piece from the rod. Most older rods are made that way and the foot of the reel is recessed below the rod shaft. As a result, the Z03 will fit the rod. I had to buy an pistol grip Ugly Stik. On this rod, the rod shat extends through the grip so the reel actually sits directly on top of rod. However, I do not like the new Shakespeare nearly as well as my old Garcia.

It feels slightly spongey and it makes a tiny little "rattley" noise, but it doesn't bother me. It is NOT an aggressive click click, but it is not absolutely silen.

Thanks for your response. I went ahead and got the Logitech and am happy with it, once I adjusted the speed of the cursor. I have a very light touch.

Same here. After about a year and a half, I seem to be losing buttons by the month. Either they stop working, or require massive pressure, and then they repeat. Dissapointed, but will have to replace since I've become dependant on the functionality. Maybe the harmony one, with it's hard buttons, will be more resilient?

No real noticeable difference, hovering over the screen with the stylus still produces the same small circle, pressing the button on the stylus still makes the shortcut menu appear and the touches/long presses feel the same. Only difference is that you're pressing against a glass surface versus a screen protector so it's hard vs soft.

Yes, clumsy, but you could change tracks on the music player. I find it odd to operate the phone when it's on my arm with the touch screen... Logistically speaking.

I can't say I'm familiar with a tactile bump but the tactile feedback is nice. A firm press with no clicking so its not so loud over voice chat. For the price its worth it

Yes it is quite sensitive and you can play with your fingers. I just bought one 2-3 months back and since then have played it only once. I am planning to sell mine for $95 + shipping.would you be interested ?

No, not at all. It feels very natural. The buttons click with ease and you aren't applying pressure that would cause it to move.

I haven't had an issue with it. it will act a a "back" button by default when surfing the web so if you do it that might be annoying but the side buttons are much more likely to get accidental presses

THE BUTTON ON MINE also has a small movement but has a nice sharply defined click, 3 positions full, half, and off. My guess is that if you have to push it really hard it is defective

Hopefully your first notes / drawings that are stuck on there at the moment are nothing embarassing!! :-) Make sure you push the button at the top down very firmly, it's an actual button, not touch sensitive like many other gadgets these days. Possible you got a defective unit too - nobody beats Amazon about making returns easy and fast.

The button is very "tactile" and takes a positive press to turn on. When I carry it in a brief case I unscrew the head slightly to prevent accidentally turning it on. Simply tighten to turn on.

I don't mean to put down on it, but I feel to push the button is kind of hard. I am getting use to it now. or I am at the wrong angle .. something about it. other wise its a nice little mixer

No, I haven't had any issues with the power button. I'd suggest taking the soft case off and try putting it back on to make sure the fit is secure.

I just turned it on and off many times to be sure. It's not a huge button, in fact it feels small. Yet it engages easily and gives you a positive "click." Plus they give you two extra buttons in case you wear the first one out.

That is correct. The button on my system also happens to be sensitive, so I have to hold down hard or it will sometimes turn off
