Since it is apparently glass (even though it does not look it, I do not know how), is there any coating such as oleobphobic coating on the TrackPad that might wear away with time? Do you think a film should be used on it?
Got a tip for us?

Is the resistance you feel the same across the different areas of the trackpad? Do more used parts feel like they have more/less friction?
Assuming a cleaned trackpad ofcourse so that the other residue on the trackpad does not affect the results.
I have computers from like 2010 and the trackpad feels just like the day I bought it … However at one point I did add a carbon fiber skin to one of my new computer track pads just for piece of mind. It was most likely unnecessary
I meant film as in a skin just could not remember they were called that. I do not know how the coating on the trackpad would not change with time affecting the feel. I put a few drops of water on the trackpad to test it and it seems almost like an oleophobic coating but not as slippery.
I do not think that is correct because water behaves strangely if drops of it are ın the trackpad.
