Whatever you think of Apple, for some reason there is a huge gap in their trackpads and basically everything else I've tried. There is the way the physical trackpad feels and doesn't "stick" as well as the responsiveness and accuracy of the drivers.
That's not a real answer though. What objective difference is there? From some replies it might be software in the OS that changes the acceleration of the cursor, so that'd be an answer if true.
Personally, I hate the feel of MacOS. The cursor seems unnaturally slow and when you crank up the speed has some weird behaviour.
Appologies the answer was a bit flakey and yes you have a point it might be that I'm just very used to it and to me it feels better, as to you it feels worse. I mentioned in another comment on here that I wasn't able to get anything close to the feeling of the MacOS trackpad from using the same hardware on linux. I suppose the person who wrote this article feels the same way that I do about it.
Fair enough. I guess I don't get a lot of the complaints when people talk about 'feel' because I've never like the MacOS 'feel'. Linux touchpads are plenty accurate and precise IMO so I've never understood why people say they're 'bad'. There doesn't seem to be any actual deficiency, just a lack of features that Apple bakes into the OS.
