They could go one step further and add braille support directly, it's just nudges. Tactile feeling is the only reason they are back.

Yes, I'm aware there are no blind drivers. The point is not having to look at your controls and doing so with something that already exists.

Braille isn't very good for quick discernment. It's much easier to put differently-shaped buttons together or put buttons into different places.

Why not both? And blind people don't seem to think so. Either way, better than what's in the picture.

Out of curiosity, have you actually spoken to blind people about how useful they find Braille?
