A tester in Austin said my slider handles felt like tiny bars of soap, so now I sculpt them in clay first
I sent a set of volume sliders to a QA guy in Austin for a media player mockup, and he came back with "I can't grab these, they slide out from under my thumb." That stung because I had spent two days on the gradient shading and zero seconds thinking about the grab area. So I started pressing handles out of scrap clay at my desk, about 6mm wide with a flat top, and holding them before I touch any design tool. The clay version made the grip problem obvious in like 4 seconds, and now every slider I make has that same little shelf on top. Anyone else prototype the physical feel with actual junk before drawing it, or am I just the weirdo with clay dust on my keyboard?
