I wish the keyboard had a touchpad built in to eliminate the need for a separate mouse.

I don't blame them, Linux touchpad drivers are horrendously bad. I can imagine a young person tryin to learn to use the pi400 and them getting frustrated because the touchpad is hard to use.

I wonder if there are any studies that show a mouse is easier to learn than a touchpad or vise versa.

I think the multitouch drivers have been really good. Been using it with a MBP 2015 touchpad, and I think that shows how good hardware helps the equation.

Eh they must either have an open spec for drivers or provide source code for linux kernel devs. I have dell laptop and the pad works great for windows and is horrible with linux which rules out hardware issues.

Also my thought. I'd like a touchpad below the space bar, as on my laptop. I saw some wireless keyboards with a touchpad where the numberpad is.

I found some bluetooth touchpads on Amazon, they cost at least about half the price of the Pi 400.
