On a drop bar bike, the shifter/brake lever combo is a very critical touch point. Not only do your hands spend a vast majority of time on them throughout the ride requiring the ergonomics be dialed for all-day comfort, the precision and power of your shifting and braking depends on it.

Campagnolo also worked hard to eliminate any dead lever play so you get immediate shifting engagement while activating the front derailleur with minimum effort. With mechanical shifting this good, you'll almost forget about electronic drivetrains.
