DEDICATED HARDWARE SWITCHBOARD
Each physical action requires a dedicated physical circuit, heavy wiring, and discrete mechanical contacts.

HARDWARE VS. CONSOLIDATED SOFTWARE ARCHITECTURE
Why industry evolved from individual dedicated physical buttons to unified multi-gesture software buttons.
| Architectural Parameter | 1. Dedicated Buttons (Hardware) | 2. Consolidated Actuator (Software) |
|---|---|---|
| Physical Copper Wiring | High: N actions = 2N high-voltage power leads | Low: 2 signal/power wires on shared digital bus |
| Physical Footprint & Weight | Bulky switchboards, heavy ceramic & brass casings | Minimal: Single compact tactile switch or capacitive panel |
| Arcing & Safety Risk | High: Direct high-current mechanical contact breaking | None: Low-voltage micro-controller logic signal (<3.3V) |
| Flexibility / Reconfigurability | Zero: Hardwired directly to loads. Requires re-soldering | Infinite: Firmware updates remap tap/hold gestures instantly |
| Cognitive & User Error Rate | Requires searching through physical bank of 20+ buttons | Requires learning gesture patterns (e.g., tap vs hold) |
