What surprises me is that there are no hand or arm brackets/braces to steady movements during heavy vibrations or high g movements. Trying to touch a spot on a shaking screen will not be easy.
Saw quite a few instances of the familiar touchscreen dance:"I touch the thing" nothing happens "I touch the thing" nothing happens "I TOUCH THE THING" and finally the thing happens. Feels like ordering McDonalds or buying train tickets. Not encouraging :-/

My niece also tends to expect instant response and taps some apps to death.

*Also, for the love of all that is good in this world, someone please re-edit that video with a better music track.
And on Soyuz the commander uses a stick to push buttons. There must be some practical reason for that which Apollo never needed. I do not think a stick would work with touch panels.

Do we know if Falcon 9 will be a rougher ride?I was thinking more during abnormal conditions. Not abort as that should be automatic but maybe something along the lines of when Gemini had a thruster locked on.
Now here is the thing: Crew Dragon has two fully redundant sets of primary RCS with automatic fault detection.
The fretting over perceived ineptitude of SpaceX to have figured out the Dragon UI is below this sites usual standard. IMO.
I don't know if the UI of the simulator in the video is representative, but the latency of the screen is way too high.
