I love my CST L-Trac but sometimes I wish I'd gotten the version with the extra button inputs to setup some extra keybinds. Alternatively I've finally become used to having a magictrackpad2 and gestures. And thank you other devs[1] for someone getting it working on Windows x86/ARM64 builds as well. Next step is trying to find out if I can get it working fully under FreeBSD. [1]https://github.com/imbushuo/mac-precision-touchpad

The technical requirement I see as a prerequisite would be support for the Precision Touchpad standard. That's a major part of the magic inside Mac Touchpads. It's a shame there isn't that many external Precision Touchpad hardware. Users would pay a lot more attention to touch if so. That said, at least there's a Windows Precision Touchpad driver for the Magic Trackpad 2: https://github.com/imbushuo/mac-precision-touchpad/issues
