My DB has twisties and I remember really liking them compared the the thumb friction shifters my last bso mtb as a kid had. They shifted just fine but now I have triggers on new bike and they're just so much better. The twist ones you have to get your hand in a certain position and apply force to use, the triggers are pretty well effortless up or down without much if any hand re-positioning required @ each shift.
