I don’t own one, so I’d like to ask: ⏎
Does this touchpad have a mechanism that allows it to be physically pressed? ⏎
Also, do you know what kind of LRA is used for the haptic feedback?
^ I also do not own one but I do have a Steam Deck with a broken touchpad. Out of curiousity, does this have the same crap as that, where the part needs "special calibration" or whatever and you can only find parts second hand that may work?
