For a short time, I had a PIC board in a QIII with reverse clicky.
It worked OK but I never fully got used to it.
Now I see we have FluPic boards that work with 'twisties'.
And also I believe some Fenix models use this same quick twist on and off to activate dimming, different modes, etc.

How do you all like these new boards?
And how are they working out in real world,every day use as opposed to playing from the comfort of your favorite chair ?

Are they intuitive to use or a pain?

Dunno know about the FluPIC (yet), but the LOP-SE is super-easy to get used to, in my experience.

MED-LOW-HIGH-OFF...do I need to repeat myself?

I've got a FluPic in a Jil and I think it's great - I mostly use it two handed but it works fine. I'd prefer a microswitch but the manufacturers don't seem to be thinking along those lines for lights. When I get more time for modding I'm going to try adding my own switch on some lights if someone doesn't come up with some switches for the smaller lights coming out.

I have the LOP SE and an Exolion which has a flupis and It took a couple of days but I am used to the operation now and don't have to many issues with it. A micro switch would be good in some of the smaller lights. There may be current handling issues though?
