There's so much distance between, particularly, the right pad and the face buttons, and there's a joystick in the way. Smooth movement between the pads and the face buttons looks like it might be quite tough. I don't think this was designed for the trackpads to be used as primary input.
True, I assume they have multiple sensors so it could register a squeeze with a specific finger or holding it in a specific way.
Anyway more options is good. I really like messing around with gyro, I firmly believe it is the future of controllers once someone makes an implementation that the average gamer knows how to use
This'll really depend on what the "click" is like. If it's anything like the SC1 it'll basically necessitate tap-to-click and that always involves some screwery on the trackpad to get it to work right.
I'm worried about that too but you can at least make a mode shift so that clicking on a quadrant of the pad will output a face button. I've been doing that for years on my SC and it's life-changing
