Hate 430EX Buttons!!!

I cannot stand the buttons on the 430EX.
the main buttons used for setting the power, exposure compensation.

the wheel on the 580 would be a dream to have.

what do you think of the buttons?
they are so hard to press, sometimes you have to push it three times to make sure it worked.

Edit: What can i do to help this issue, eg place something over the buttons so they don't go in so deep?

I dont like them either. You really have to shove your finger nail in there to get them to press. Good for preventing accidental pressings I guess. Yea the 580EX II buttons and wheel are MUCH nicer, but be sure youre okay with the loss of the Master/Slave switch.
