Just curious.
I noticed come Keyboard the battery still quite lasting compare to Trackpad. I feel partly maybe we always scroll, click, gesture on it thus drain battery more faster than keyboard?

Certainly that's a contributing factor. If you don't type (hundreds of) thousands of characters a day, or rather spending more time with the trackpad clicking/tapping/swiping, etc. than typing, that would lead to more battery drain on the trackpad.

I would expect the trackpad battery to drain faster than the keyboard with many users.

Seem legit, even typing a lot but come scrolling, gesture mode , click on track pad seem trackpad battery drain more faster than keyboard.
