Other than a lower price point, what would you like to see in the way of a Trijicon adjustable LED TYPE 3 ¹ RMR?
² - In order to incorporate a side-loading battery compartment, the RMR would need to switch from a CR2032 to something like a CR1632. You can't slide a 20 mm diameter CR2032 out between the mounting screws and recoil posts.
Personally, I'm more than content removing the RMR and replacing the battery once a year.
I'd like to see an ADJUSTABLE MOA LED! I'd like to see an LED that can be adjusted not only in terms of brightness, but from 1 MOA to 6.5 MOA. This is what I have in mind ...
I envision three "nested" LED's. You'd be able to select between a 1.0 MOA LED, 3.25 MOA LED and 6.5 MOA LED.
I see no reason why the RMR couldn't maintain the brightness setting corresponding to each LED. In other words, when you select a different MOA LED, the RMR would automatically restore the previous brightness setting for that LED.
Maybe you're new to MRDS's and you're not sure which dot size to get. How many times have you seen someone post, "Should I get the 3.25 or 6.5 MOA RMR?" This solves the problem.
Maybe you're a first-time MRDS shooter and you want to start with a larger dot and then decrease the dot size as you gain more experience.
Maybe you want to increase the dot size as you age (I'd expect a Trijicon RMR to last a lifetime).
Maybe you have an astigmatism.
Maybe you want to change the dot size between the range, defense and competition.
How difficult can an adjustable MOA LED be?
Thoughts? Game changer? Novel, nonobvious, and useful?
Longer Battery Life?
Solar Panels?
Shake Awake?
Side-Loading Battery Compartment? ²

¹ - Assuming the physical dimensions and mounting footprint will be identical to that of the original type 1 and (current) type 2 RMR.Solar Panels?
