I’ve recently acquired a Framework, and am mostly enjoying it)
However, there’s a problem I can’t quite get around — touchpad is shifted to the right of home position.
Basically, that means that I frequently accidentally touch it with bottom of my right thumb, and that requires me to keep DWT on — while I don’t need to do that on laptops lineups like Latitudes or Thinkpads.
That’s is so annoying!
I can’t figure out any reason to put it in the center except “design”. And it doesn’t even look that good compared to home position centering — the closest visual element to the touchpad is the spacebar, and it doesn’t line up!
Look how nicely it lines up on a Latitude!
And it’s more comfortable too!
I might be wrong, and overlooking some obvious reason to do so — maybe you are targeting Macbook people, and they are used to the center position of touchpad — I will be glad to hear your thought process in the comments.
I think it’s just kind of not really thought about a lot? Props for noticing that!
I do agree, with the touchpad centred to the chassis instead of the keyboard I tend to accidentally activate the touchpad a lot but hadn’t really given it a thought as TP rejection usually does its trick.
