    Nah, it’s a bad default taught by Windows users on crap touchpads. Proper clickpads are vastly superior.

      you may be surprised to know that crap touch-pads are the majority of touchpads and even moreso in the future since old thinkpads are slowly going away

        Companies like Asus and HP ship proper touchpads.

          My apologies, it seems we do not have the same definition of proper touchpads, of all the laptop brands in the world, asus and hp are amongst the few that I would consider unsuitable including their touchpads which are the most basic low grade pads i can think of, maybe their more than a grand models are better

          Some of those are still terrible. Compare any of them to my 2011 macbook and they will loose badly

      If anything, for me, it’s the total opposite. I got used to tap to click by using my old MacBook with its awesome trackpad, and I turn it off on shitty trackpads because it leads to tons of misclicks.
