Notice I said clickpads. Touchpads work fine once you work around Wayland's bizarre fear of enabling tap-to-click.

Ah, I don't like tap-to-click, I always disable it, I need that clicky feeling, often I'll hook up a mouse as well :)

IIRC the culprit is libinput, which worries tap to click is "confusing" for some reason. Which is why I use synaptics when I'm on X.
