It's handy, although clearly not essential.

Most important feature for me is fooling my nieces into thinking I have voice control ofver the OBC.

A good 30% of stalks seem to have packed up. Take the end cap off and inspect / clean the contacts.

Neil .... why haven't you fitted the OBC yet ?
Sorry ... I forgot you are too busy removing sockets from your shorts.
