  • Yes, it does indeed significantly increase one's productivity. See the 1998 paper where the device was first tested: I wanted to put link here but YouTube won't let me; Google "A comparison of three selection techniques for touchpads"

    All new Apple MacBooks implement this idea now.

  • The main difference is that their implementation is harder to press in the top corners due to their implementation of the design. They placed the entire touchpad on an actual button, whereas ours made use of an internal device to provide the feel and sound of a button click; the touchpad felt like it was doing the same thing. The upshot of which is that it is a more robust design with less moving parts exposed to dirty fingers.

  • Does the Tactile Touchpad help you in any way?

    Or was it just something you wanted to make?
