There is some tactile feedback. Also, I find that the Volume buttons are not as responsive as the other buttons. A push through that little tactile hurdle is not enough, you really need to touch bottom. IR capture is not fussy at all. Tedious, but very easy.
Nice touch is that a label centers automatically.
Like the UR362, you can create a delay by holding the preceding button for a while. But unlike the UR362, the RR969 does not show a counter. Needs to be quite dark for it to come on. But the LCD is very readable, even in darker lighting. The IR emitters seem pretty powerful.
