My main gripe with the trackpad is not being able to customise the size of the right click area. It's so small compared to the size of the trackpad.

I use either a two-finger tap, or ctrl+tap for a right-click. Feels way better.

Mac user: what's a right click area? Non-Apple laptop user: "It's that ridiculous concept of only being able to enter a right click in a specific area of a track pad. Also, can only scroll by swiping on certain parts of the track pad as well" Mac User: You accept that?

  2005 called, they want their jokes about PCs back. Dedicated touchpad areas for right clicking and scrolling haven't been a thing since Windows introduced precision drivers and gestures. IIRC even most linux DEe have the same features.

    And yet, the person I replied to in 2021 is still complaining about the size of a right-click area of the track pad. It may be an old joke style (so is saying a year in the past is calling), but it is still valid.

      Yeah, of course, you can still find shitty laptops with these issues if you look in the discount bin at Wallmart but for a fair comparison, most new laptops in the MacBook price range (1000+ Euros) don't have touchpads with segmented zones anymore like the ones you're describing.

        There you have it. If it doesn't exist on the hardware "I'm" using now, then it's not a problem that should be discussed. I'm Chuck Norris, and I round house kick to the head any laptop that doesn't meet my certifications.

That is unfortunate, and probably a sign of a feature that nobody at Apple (and few external users) bother with. Everyone I know uses two-finger right click and a very small subset of friends use ctrl+click.
