It definitely took some getting used to, but I find it to be really forgiving though feel is definitely a problem; the friction area isn't necessarily hard to find, rather it's numb at its "borders" so to speak.

Gurus feel free to correct,
I thought about this and I think a better way to put this is that while the friction area is wide, it is also vague feeling. You can definitely feel the point of engagement, but stray from that and I can't necessarily tell what I'm doing.
