I've been using a trackpoint for a long while now and I was 99% certain they were superior to everything else but i had been hearing a lot of good things about the surface book trackpads and that they were at the same level as apples so I decided to switch for a while.

its been about 4 months of using nothing but a trackpad and even though its really good im fairly certain I'll be sticking with trackpoints from here on out.

one thing that's really starting to bug me lately is the accidental clicks from your palm hitting the edge of the trackpad. I don't know how people manage with those new macbooks with the oversized trackpads

Have new MacBook, never had this problem. Mabye they're detecting accidental inputs?

Constant incorrect activation of the trackpad was one of the main reasons I sold my '16 MBP and bought a '15. Never had that problem with any previous Macbook.

The other reason for selling it was two failures of the awful keyboard in six months - I wanted shot before the warranty ended.

I have a MacBook Pro 2015 and a Magic Trackpad 2 and get phantom inputs on both. Still, I’m an old TrackPoint user and I prefer the Mac trackpads regardless.
