**edit: I said wireless when I was actually just thinking external my b

I use Gnome as my main DE and I really like the touch gestures for my workflow, having a wireless trackpad would be really nice.

I’ve done some research before and seen that most wireless trackpads seem to work just fine with Linux, like the apple magic trackpad and an older out of production one from Logitech. But it doesn’t seem that wireless trackpads are super common so I wanted to ask if there were any others anyone could suggest?

I also had the thought that maybe I could make my own by buying a spare trackpad module from Framework but I don’t know how feasible that would actually be. I’ve never done anything like that but it seems like it could hypothetically be possible.

    They’re pretty simple USB input devices, so support should be pretty good. I wouldn’t worry too much about which one you get, unless you are looking at something unusual.
