Very sturdy and useful, but ergonomics are lacking

Love this footswitch, far more than the original, specifically for the improved ergonomics, but even with the improvements it leaves much to be desired. I definitely have to dedicate myself to switching the A and C buttons, as your foot resting against the front edge can cause the button not to be depressed fully.
