Is that Col Panic?
Wonder if that’s real or a CAD rendering.
I believe he’s been promoted.

Not anymore.
Yes, they do. Lots of safetied toggles and switches, push buttons and dials that require several pounds of pressure. I doubt there are any touch screens that do anything besides control displays.
I meant not anymore as touchpads take over due to cost and weight savings. I’m not saying that is the current standard, but it is evolving toward touchpads.
By the way, that bar over the touchpad is put there to rest your fingers on and then you press the pad with your thumb. This is already a standard implementation of using touchpads on devices where you need an accurate button press.

The “fly into orbit” button most be on the other side.
