| How does the Palm-Detection work?
To test this, you can do the following: Place your palm where the X-es are, then try to scroll with two fingers or move your mouse. I don't like that the mouse does not react anymore if the palm is placed there - it should just be ignored. ┌─────────────────────────┐

| My Dell Precision laptop running Win11 handles this perfectly. Wish I had tried this sooner :P |

| I performed your test and mouse movement and two-finger scrolling still works if my palm is there. Even 3-finger window switching gestures. My palm is effectively ignored. |

I have a feeling the magic here is happening in apple firmware, rather than driver or software. | | |

(which is the only difference besides speed) or as you said the firmware / hardware. Thank you very much. |
