| Jun 17, 2023 at 5:57 | comment | added | Edenia | @JonCuster Right, but they are not even called buttons. They are called keys. And if all this is irrelevant - the reasons for the keyboard keys being square-shaped is again only historic anyway (but also I suspect easier to press?). (Also there are plenty of modern keyboards with round keys, which I haven't tried, nor I want to). Also the actual buttons in your mouse, which are called push buttons are guess what. | |

If a circle is such a great indicator of a button, why are most of the other buttons on the site rectangular? The voting buttons aren't even styled similarly to the "Add comment" button I'm looking at right now which has a slight 3d effect to look clickable. | |

| Jun 12, 2023 at 18:37 | comment | added | Edenia | I wasn't specifically referencing the top comments. A number of people seemingly criticize mostly how they look, not to mention that once the accessibility issues are taken care of, those buttons are actually easier to use as stated above. | |
| Jun 12, 2023 at 8:39 | comment | added | MissSkooter stands w Palestine | This isn't entirely true. While I'm sure "mere exposure effect" plays a role, the top comments actually point out very valid issues with accessibility. They also highlight weaknesses with the company's analysis and "proof" that these buttons are better. (Honestly I don't think anyone really cares all that much, I'm already used to the new ones, but I do hope they deal with the accessibility concerns) | |
