Button navigation is not intuitive

I bought this a month ago and have about 20 rides in. I'm still going crazy trying to navigate through the menu. Just starting a routine road ride to follow my mph and distance can be a total headache, especially because I do not have touch screen and it's hard to push the little buttons once my group has started the ride. In this day and age of incredible apps, I would think using this would be easy peasy.

I purchased this computer for my daughter who wanted to get serious about her bike training. This has made it super easy for her to follow her coach's workout with a connection to training peaks. When used as a stand-alone bike computer it gives her all the info she could want and more. Great product and very easy to use.
Got the 540 for my birthday after my last Garmin eventually died - the app is awful and continuously loops on setup so its unusable.

This thing is a game changer for me in terms of amping up my ride and making it easier to evaluate my progress and have fun doing it. I love the customization options for each profile and ease of use. The display is big and easy to see while riding and changing screens on the go is cake. I use this with my Garmin connect to maximize enjoyment and utility and create challenges with other riders. Go Garmin.
With buying the Tacx Neo 2T, I needed to upgrade my computer to take advantage of all the features. I chose the 540 and am completely stoked about it!!! It took awhile to get used to the buttons but I am rockin' it now! The configurability, the color, the connectivity are all just excellent! Auto activity upload and live connection to my phone for setup options is super convenient! Great battery life and I keep the display on continuously during my 2-3 hr indoor rides! I think my only "cons" feedback would be that I sometimes press the one (or the other) of the lower buttons when trying to get a grip to press the upper left or right button. Those buttons set lap markers or pause the activity, neither of which are good things to do accidentally mid activity! I opted not to get the touchscreen + buttons version but because of the above "con" I think maybe the touchscreen feature would have been nice. Still, I really like the Edge 540!!!
