In the context of star trek thats no excuse. They could easily integrate a little replicator into the panels for customizable tactile interfaces. Like you get on duty, select your specific customized interface profile, wait the ∼5 seconds for the old one to be reclaimed and the new one to materialize and you’re good to go. They can keep the standard panel interface right next to it just in case.
5 seconds? You need your matter conversion matrix realigned if it’s taking that long.
I’ve been trying to get starfleet to approve mini-replicators in control panels for years but I always get the same “it’s just not worth the materials cost” but honestly when was the last time you saw an Admiral use a control panel themselves?
