EC120 Panel Switches

I've recently completed a type conversion to EC120 (PPL). I was surprised to see that Eurocopter use latching pushbuttons of a type for which it is almost impossible to tell by glancing at the panel, whether a switch is 'ON' or 'OFF'.
In every other (non-EC) helicopter I've flown, switch statuses are immediately apparent from a simple glance. Does this lack or ergonomic design exist on other EC helicopters?
