This makes me feel better, I also love my Mac with the Touch Bar and even though there aren’t physical buttons the function keys are still available. I read quite a view bad reviews in the blind community on how bad the Touch Bar is I was feeling like I was the odd one out for liking it. I know I’ve heard a few people say that you can’t use windows on the Mac if one has the Touch Bar and I don’t know if this is correct or not, but I never wanted to use windows on it anyway.
