My problem with touch pads is limited range, you constantly have to recentre. In a competitive environment that’s wasted ms where you are moving your finger back to make your next movement

The thumb ball reduces the amount of that

At least with the ones on the steam deck this is solved (for me) largely by software emulating the momentum of the trackball
