I might be the only one that likes this t440s style trackpad. I have no desire to mod it. I love that you physically click it. Coming from a macbook, I was at f

  The newer ones you can still physically click. Although it doesn‘t move that far anymore. The main difference is, that the 4-series doesn‘t have dedicated trackpoint buttons. If you are a heavy trackpoint user, this is just bad.

    Ah gotcha. That makes total sense. I last like ten seconds each time I try to use the trackpad, probably because of lack of buttons. I probably need to replace my t440s soon because the ram/processor is problematic for my usage (gdal and geospatial data conversions, big gimp and inkscape files, simultaneous rails/npm servers for dev, etc). I’ll look into one with the sweet buttons.

  Depends on your use patterns: 1. If you use TrackPoint, the lack of buttons is murderous. Just a complete deal breaker. I have no idea how it passed any usability testing. 2. If you use trackpad alone, we still felt it was inferior to the 30 or 50 series. Clicking trackpad did not feel "positive" somehow; felt like sometimes it would register a click, sometimes it would register a swipe before the click. Most of all, it made it difficult to JUST CLICK. Imagine you're in photoshop and you want to select a specific pixel... if you have a dedicated button, np. With buttons integrated with trackpad, it felt that I could never select the specific pixel without it moving ever so slightly when I just wanted to push a button.
