Mechanical rocker‑button touchpads dominated Windows laptops until about 2015–2020, with true haptic touchpads only becoming mainstream starting in 2021. Apple adopted haptics first (2015), and Windows OEMs followed several years later once Sensel’s technology matured.
I miss the lights and I still miss the buttons. They give it that tactile feel.
I've not used a mouse with my laptops for the past five years.
I've never used a mouse with my laptops, either. That's why I rely heavily on the trackpad/touchpad. And copying Apple was a load of bullsh*t as well. If I wanted an Apple, I would've bought an Apple. Business laptops don't have to have all that 'moderne' sheen to them. They need to be utilitarian in order to get the work done. They're not meant for gaming or any of that other stuff.
