Sure, but with physical buttons I know if I'm on a physical button. With this thing, sometimes clicking just doesn't work because I'm too far up and I have to move my finger down to where it's magically clickable again.

I dunno, I don't use any of that stuff. I do 90% of my work from the Terminal. I drag windows, scroll, and select text (ugh) and that's about it. For my use case, this thing is no improvement over buttons and often a detriment.
- stephenr 11y ago> I drag windows, scroll, and select text All of which is easier because of multitouch. Two-finger drag to scroll. Three-finger drag to do anything that's normally click+drag. Doesn't matter where your fingers are on the trackpad, or which direction you need to move, and you can briefly lift your fingers and resume a 3-finger drag.
