is there any reason at all for why modern laptop touchpads dont have distinct left/right click buttons?

@kemona_halftau not sure but prob bc macs

@kemona_halftau take this with a grain of salt because i saw macs not having the touchpad buttons and this thought showed up in my head, wouldn’t be surprised if i was wrong

@kemona_halftau the same reason lenovo removed the trackpoint buttons for the xx4x thinkpads: it allows for more touchpad surface area? it also allows for middle click but I think that's more of a side effect since they could've just added a middle button
