I have a Framework laptop and I think on Fedora the touchpad is no worse than on my MBP. The only annoyance is that AFAICT there's no way to change the speed of 2 finger scrolling, and it's a bit faster than I'd prefer (maybe that's a Gnome problem?)

The Framework touchpad is top-hinged and the click effort varies widely depending on how close to the top you press.

Honestly, this doesn't really bother me as much as it does for other people. Don't get me wrong, haptic trackpads are nice (I bought the Magic TP2), but a properly-accurate multitouch button-based trackpad can still feel great to use.

With Win 11 Pro on my frame.work (DIY Intel 12th gen) it's ... OK.

Quite a few expected gestures just work, several more can be mapped for gesture-friendliness between Win11 and MacOS.

But the basics are off: clicking, dragging, scrolling, all are just a bit fiddly, with click needing a very deliberate click on upper half of touch pad while works better the lower you go. ... Learned from sibling comment here why that is.

I agree several of the speeds are off, and built in controls don't get me there. Haven't tried any third party tools, only Win11 + frame.work drivers.

The other thing I miss is the sheer real estate of the current M1 Pros.

TL;DR: The current frame.work laptop touchpad hardware is good enough to be usable by a MacOS user in Win11 (haven't tried yet in Linux).

Lack of force-touch is also a bit annoying.
