I'm still consistently enraged at trackpads without physically distinct left and right buttons. No one does them right. Not even Apple.
and like someone else mentioned, tap action is for left-click

Who cares. Bringing experiments all the way to market is a good thing, just don't buy one and you are sorted.
It's probably not very bad, but stupid experiments can have a negative influence on the community as a whole. Let's say e-ink keyboards are a good idea, but it's too soon. An early implementation will quite possibly delay (more make completely unviable) trying the experiment again. If it's just a bad idea, resources will have been diverted into the development of a failed product (which is years of someones life spen…
And I think it's fine to be frustrated with stupid VC spending, but to the extent it is actually a problem, it shouldn't be sustainable (it would be replaced by less stupid spending if it were truly enjoining advancement).

I always turn on 'tap to click' on my trackpad so you can tap anywhere to click, and two finger tap to right click. I haven't missed physical buttons since getting used to this. Is there a particular use case that the physical buttons are better for? I can imagine gaming at least.
I've found trying to drag&drop with that method infuriating.
Works great. I guess I never actually click the trackpad with these settings.

This isn’t relevant to the parent’s complaint, though. Without dedicated buttons, you’re relying on the driver to distinguish between a one and two finger click. That detection, even on Apple devices, is noticeably imperfect for reasons I don’t understand. (Click “anywhere” was solved by Apple with their haptic not-actually-clicking trackpads that are pretty awesome.)

All throughout the video I was thinking "I wonder how this fares against the Surface Go" but by the end the price was mentioned and... I'm afraid it's not a fair race. I thought the new Lenovo Book would be priced similarly as the previous version. Sad to see it isn't.

Activate 3 finger dragging in Accessibility settings. I use tap to click, two finger for right click and 3 finger for drag. Works great. I guess I never actually click the trackpad with these settings.
How is anyone supposed to type on something like that?
