While I agree that this would be "neat," It would make it harder to use, most likely.

The reason HTC decided to go this route, instead of capacitve-only buttons, is because then you would have to lift your finger completely off the button to make multiple-presses. With the current setup, you can just repeatedly click, and it works great...

Dunno, to each their own, and I am all for customization. Hell, I'd like the idea, because I could map those to NEW functions, like opening a new program or something...
