Touchpad comaring with MacBook

Framework’s trackpad is among the best of the Windows laptops, but Macbooks still beat out even the best Windows laptop trackpad by a fair margin IMO.

The overwhelming majority of Windows trackpads (including Framework’s) are diving-board style, meaning the ability to physically click on them diminishes the higher up you do it. Macbooks have a unique haptic system that provides uniform click feedback across 100% of the area (with no moving parts!).

While Windows Precision drivers have improved on past drivers remarkably, Macbooks’ trackpad software is still superior, with noticeably better gesture and palm rejection.

I think with the Framework trackpad you’ll be getting a little bit of ‘uncanny valley’ feeling, since the glass feel and size are similar, but you’ll start noticing tiny differences after using it. For example, physically-clicking + dragging and two-finger right-clicking are much finickier on Windows. It’s like 90% there…but if you can’t live without that last 10%, I can see it being a dealbreaker for many Macbook users.
