Gen-3 Stackmat timers were announced in 2011. SpeedStacks has since not released any WCA-acceptable timers that solve this problem, but have released the Gen-3 and Gen-4 which are slightly more ergonomic than the previous. This was one of the reasons some cubers saw the Gen-2 timer as a step backwards from Gen-1. The biggest example of this was a single solve by Seung-Hyuk Nahm at the World Rubik's Cube Championships 2017, when he had to do a replacement solve due to accidentally resetting the timer on the solve, which effectively lost him $1500 due to getting a second rather than first place podium that he would have had if the timer did not reset. When stopping the timer, the solver may accidentally hit reset with the thumb, making the time DNF.
