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).
