But how do you tell it you want 1,2,3, or 11 gears per press and hold? Timing? You have to hold until you get to the gear and then let go right on time? No thanks. That kind of UI sucks for rapid volume control: give me a volume knob over volume buttons any day; and I think it also sucks for rapidly shifting gears. In fact, the pausing probably isn't really to make the shifts smoother or faster, it's just a side-effect of \_needing\_ the pause to ensure you don't overshoot the gear you actually want.
Also not sure how pausing at each shift can possibly be faster... Sure, going straight from like 32 teeth to the 50 or 52 is going to be rough, but if I'm just going from like 17 to 28, no way is pausing at 19, 21, and 24 going to be faster. And I definitely don't want to have to hold the button down the whole time.
That might be the best part of mechanical hero shifts: one big press and the gears happen while I go back to holding on to the bars securely.
