But also I think you are incorrect in saying "right physical button". On
clickpads there is no "right physical button", at least not in any I
have ever encountered. There is paint on the top surface giving the fake
impression of separate buttons, but underneath there is typically only
one microswitch in the centre (maybe with multiple springs on both sides
for balance, so to the user it feels like they are clicking something at
the side). The determination of what button is intended is made in
software according to the finger location. So it's really a one-button
device with software emulation of more buttons. That's how all clickpads
work, in my experience.
Unfortunately we can't detect paint in software :) And we have recently
switched to a more modern default of preferring two-finger clicks over
bottom-right area clicks to emulate the secondary button. This gives the
user more touchpad area to use and doesn't require that you look at the
touchpad to know which (virtual) button you are clicking. Just use one
or two fingers to indicate which button you want.
