When I say that the faders are "uncomfortable" I mean that they are 
sharp and painful. There has been no attempt to round off the little 
prongs that protrude through the panel. Ordinarily these would have 
small knobs attached, but in order to miniaturize the design they 
have been omitted. To get some idea of the problem I suggest you 
remove the knobs from the faders of your mixer and work with it for a 
while. You may find as I do that the avoidance of pain is an 
important part of ergonomics.
