Apple Magic Trackpad 2 used as a USB-connected device. It is by far the best trackpad on the market. You can unplug the USB cable to use it wirelessly, but in Linux, the battery power is not managed and runs down quickly.
The Apple trackpad is sturdy as it is made from solid aluminum and the surface is glass, not plastic. It costs more than the all-plastic trackpads but works better. Using textured glass as the surface was a very good idea. Apple got the balance between friction and smoothness perfect. But do get the one with the USB cable. The older model was wireless only and Linux does not know how to power-manage it The only other touchscreen I've used is my iPad. I can share the Linux screen to the iPad and then use touch interface in place of a mouse. It works. You can buy a 14" touch screen monitor for about $300. That would seem le the ideal solution. Smaller one are under $100. On Mon, Feb 28, 2022 at 1:44 PM Ed <ate...@mwt.net> wrote: > Title says most of it.
