How the little details change a user’s technology experience

Apple Watch – Nobody notices the dial

Apple is not the first to enter the smart watch market. But before Apple, all other manufacturers had the same problem: the excessive intelligence experience made it difficult to use. For example, the Samsung Gear S1 for example: due to the bulky design that supports the virtual keys, the S1 has a rough design when worn on the palm.

Before Apple, no manufacturer had thought of using the intuitive knob to navigate the smartwatch’s small screen.

The level of design Apple showed when the Watch was born, still as a true smart device but offers an extremely special mechanism: the physical crown on the left hand. . Reusing the part familiar to traditional watches, Apple has created a mechanism that allows users to easily navigate on the tiny screen size of the smartwatch. Only when it comes to large-size communication, Apple encourages users to use the touch screen.

Obviously, then all other smartwatch manufacturers followed Apple. Most recently, Xiaomi has copied this mechanism to the infamous Mi Watch.

Microsoft Surface – Only by a mechanical part on the back

In the tablet war, Microsoft clearly lost to Apple. This is true until now, when the Surface is still mainly used in the form of laptops rather than tablets.

Something as simple as a rear leg can make the tablet a lot more useful.

But the Surface has brought an extremely valuable addition to the tablet design. By adding an easily adjustable adjustable stand, Microsoft has made the tablet extremely easy to use when placed on a table, on a lap or even on a belly … while watching YouTube / Netflix in bed. Expanding all the way back, the Surface still creates a suitable angle so that users can follow while working at a standing table.

The iPad can’t do the same thing – even, there is almost no case to allow the iPad to use freely in a “lying” state. The evidence shows that sometimes it’s better to go after.

Corsair Darkcore – Buttons for FPS gamers

Referring to gaming devices is referring to countless different designs and changes – manufacturers sometimes just need to add 1, 2 (or 12) buttons to be different from competitors. But, when it comes to useful buttons, only Corsair is worthy of honor: its wireless mouse model, Darkcore, has a left side button that allows you to reduce DPI (in other words, mouse sensitivity. ) for sniper situations. Because the sniper when zooming has a higher than normal vibration level, this auxiliary button will help gamers can “trim” the opponent a lot more convenient.

The “sniper” button is on the side of the Corsair Darkcore, one of the few worthwhile enhancements for gaming mice.

Other manufacturers are not thinking about this situation, but their solution is to put DPI buttons under the palm of the user during the game. As a result, two DPI adjustment buttons are also rarely used by users, and it must be at the Darkcore market to have a mouse that is really suitable for FPS.

Tesla Model S – Door handle for future experience

Speaking of Tesla, the first thing most people will probably think of is the electric motor. But talking about electric motors is not enough: the Tesla experience is truly an experience of the future.

An important part of this experience is the door handle on the Model S. The sedan that made Tesla’s name not use conventional handles but has a very special hidden mechanism: when users come close and show their hands near the door, then the new handle appears. To do this, Tesla needs to use a whole range of advanced sensors – instead of the familiar locking mechanism on the “normal” car door.

Because the door handle is the first moment in the everyday use experience, the different handle mechanism has made Tesla truly stand out with the sedan at the same price range. Stepping into the car, users will enjoy a keyless start-up experience (because the key on Tesla is more like a remote control) and the entire dashboard is placed on a large screen. Many people even say they will never return to other vehicles, because Tesla not only owns modern technology – they also know how to put their users into the future.

Burson Play – Mute button for the music amplifier

Devotees of high-quality audio on PC must have had a small problem: when someone comes up and talks, we either have to remove the headset, or have to reopen the app to pause music. The inconvenience is not great, but it can cause big problems. For example, when being caught talking while listening to music with a headset, users rushing to remove the ear can drop their ears at any time.

Mute music quickly with just one button on DAC / amp.

Burson, the Australian audio brand, has a very special solution: integrating the mute button into the volume control key. Audio believers every time they need to … get along with the world will just need to press the buttons on their amp / DAC sets gently.
