I'm sort of comparing playing these buttons to how I would play the piano. Particularly applying chord inversions.
One interesting method of making a basic triad in scale mode I've noticed is, root, up and to the left, up and to the left again. Just a simple diagonal going northwest. If I did this in C for instance, I can do second inversion F simply by shifting the two higher ones over to the right by one. Or a first inversion G by instead shifting the two lower ones left.
Or, similarly, this time from the commonly demonstrated C button shape, you can get second inversion of F again by shifting the two buttons to the right, to the right each by one. Then hold that shape and slide all buttons one more to the right for a second inversion of G.
I know these are basic chords, but it is all just so interesting!
Also, I'm finding that in chromatic mode, I prefer 4>. Especially if I'm doing dominant chords haha
Edit: and I just tried out 3^ mode
