I think those "knobs" that we're all befuddled about may actually be weights... or at least some of them might be weights rather than adjustment knobs. As for the button on button thing, I think it just looks like a button on top of a button from some angles. Hell if I know... but from the other angles, the "base button" looks like it just might be solid plastic.
As far as if something like this is ergonomic or not... just because it's really angular doesn't mean that it can't be ergonomic. Everyone associates curvy form fitting designs as "ergonomic" and in some cases they are, but if there are the right supports in the right spots, even something that looks very blocky can be ergonomic.
