   UI designers: please please please please please please please please please please please please give us a way to enter a number exactly instead of only a slider that can't be precise.

   I know a difference of one seems unimportant to you, but I literally have to hold my breath unable to even breath right until I get it right. I know I'm not the only one out there. I don't want a value that is "close enough."

   Just make the value text a box instead of a label.

   This might be an #ActuallyAutistic thing, I don't know. Regardless, it's super simple to just make it a box I can manually edit.

   This is even worse on mobile where taking your finger off the screen can move the bar.

   And I KNOW I'm not the only one who feels this way.

     @nazokiyoubinbou I would make the argument that a text field is an accessibility addition, it's considerably easier for some people to just enter a value than fiddle with a slider.
