A well designed trackpad will have virtually flawless palm rejection, which means it shouldn't matter. I'm not sure how that fares outside of Apple machines though.


Apple doesn't have flawless palm rejection, part of the reason why the larger trackpad on new MBP isn't loved by everyone.


I have a System76 (not a Lemur, but surely the touchpad software is the same) and I've never once had a problem with palm rejection. For that matter, I never had a problem with palm rejection on any of the Windows laptops I used to use. Are there any laptops that do have problems with palm rejection? AFAICT it seems like a solved problem (unlike, say "smart sleep", which is an unmitigated nightmare everywhere, including on Macs).


I get enough ghost touches to be annoying on the 2020 Macbook Air and Pro. What device is supposed to be better?
