I assume I’ll eventually figure out what Apple has done to its cursor pad… right now, it has me cursing quite a bit!
In any case, I am writing to express my disappointment that Apple no longer designs keyboards with adult human beings in mind. Instead, they seem to be catering to the exclusive needs of two-finger typists who thrive on inefficiency and chaos.
For instance, instead of a left shift key where it belongs, there’s a renegade apostrophe key (`) loitering there. If I actually want to capitalize something, I have to look down, relocate my entire hand, and then press shift as if it’s some kind of side quest.

The return key? Oh, don’t worry, that’s been thoughtfully replaced with a reverse slash (\) because obviously, what I really needed in my life was more accidental backslashes. To hit the actual return key, I have to look down (again), make a minor pilgrimage across the keyboard, and rehome my hand.

I am also praying that I will find a way to switch from British spell-check to American soon!
NOTE: For a while, it appeared that Apple had also done away with click-and-drag; but that function can be restored in the System Settings -> Trackpad -> Force Click and Haptic Feedback.
