> Your solution seems strictly worse. If they’re setting the time with a knob, how do they get 1:35 instead of a guesstimate of the time? How do they change the power level, use the defrost mode, the popcorn preset?

They could use knobs with beveled points and with clear beveled icons/text around the knobs?

I suppose we should ask visual impired person instead of guessing.
