Hi All,
I have the Side KX panels on my KX3, and it's really not a problem for me.
As has been pointed out, there are fairly large slots on both sides through
which you can access any of the buttons on either side row. I suppose
someone with especially large fingers might possibly have an issue, but in
that case (or anyway!) just use the opposite hand! It is no problem at all
accessing buttons on the left side with the right hand and vice versa. By
the way, the left panel also has the two buttons identified that need to be
pushed to turn the KX3 on or off. So, they obviously thought about this
when they designed the panels and determined the slot size.
One nice thing about the panels is that their size (depth) does not extend
much beyond the main tuning knob. So, if you KX3 fit snugly in whatever you
were using for a case before, it probably will still fit with the panels in
place. I was slightly concerned about that when I ordered the panels, as I
had already selected a carrying case, but there was no problem, before or
after--and it is a nice, close fit.
Anyway, at worst I would say it is a minor concern.
