I'm happy to answer questions around the new product.

I literally just want a touchpad with buttons. These new 'clickpads' are the bane of my existence. They are so much slower, and certain workflows are impossible. I must use an external mouse now with modern laptops.

Why can no laptop manufacturer even make this an option?

I’ve never missed having buttons on the macbook trackpad lol

How are they slower/impossible?

I've missed them every time I've been in the unfortunate position of dealing with someone else's macOS system. It's all a matter of what you're accustomed to.

They said the mac solution is slower than discrete buttons, I’m contesting that part specifically

I stand by what I said. It may not be slower for you.
