Not really. My wife has low vision. Changing the volume used to be a muscle memory sort of thing. Now it's an awkward fumbling mess, especially if she's in the middle of a meeting and trying to mute her laptop.

We've locked the buttons to a static position so she knows where to press but there's still no tactile feedback.

Accessibility is a good reason to not like it, that's very fair. That alone puts it from my original neutral position to it being a negative overall.
