Ctrl-click on a trackpad requires two fingers, one to press the control-key, the other to hold-down the mouseKey at the bottom of the trackpad, meanwhile the other hand works moving the cursor over the trackpad to choose the correct menu item. I suppose for young large hands, it would work just fine, but my fingers would get tired awful fast trying to contort regularly that way.
We're wandering way off topic here, but most people who use a trackpad do one of these, to my observation:
1. Use the index finger to move the pointer, the thumb to press the trackpad button, and the left hand to press modifier keys (if they need one). The side of the thumb falls naturally over the button when your index finger is moving over the trackpad.
2. Turn on the clickable trackpad, and use the index finger to move the pointer and to click, drag, and double-click.
Using both hands just for ordinary clicking - one to move the pointer and the other to press the trackpad button - seems extremely difficult to me, and it wouldn't surprise me if someone who tried to use a trackpad that way gave up on it altogether and fled to the mouse in disgust. My right hand is cramping up just visualizing it. ;-) You might, probably would, find one of the above methods easier.
(I myself use SideTrack and have the trackpad configured for clickability, and the trackpad button configured for control-click, which means I use only index finger and thumb. The corner I use the least is configured for command-click [which my browser uses for "open this link in a new tab", so I need it a lot].)
