Confirming this bug in:

Confirmed in Plasma 5.11.3.

Comment 3 Martin Flöser 2017-12-07 19:32:44 UTC

The touchpad widget interacts with the X11 specific touchpad kded module. That is not used on Wayland, so it cannot work.

Comment 4 Patrick Silva 2018-03-10 03:04:05 UTC

hum, now touchpad indicator says that my device is active on neon dev unstable. However I can not disable/enable my touchpad clicking the indicator. Nothing happens.

Comment 5 Roman Gilg 2018-03-18 22:50:29 UTC

The touchpad indicator is not connected to KWin's DBus interface.

I would like to hide the indicator completely in the Wayland session since probably very few people use it anyways (most laptop keyboards have a special key to toggle the touchpad).

If someone wants to, such an applet could still be published on the KDE store.

Comment 6 Patrick Silva 2018-03-18 23:17:08 UTC

Touchpad icon indicates if the device is enabled or not.
Useful feature.

Comment 7 Patrick Silva 2018-07-17 01:49:56 UTC

Already fixed.

Comment 8 Alexander Mentyu 2018-08-27 16:27:54 UTC

Touchpad indicator isn't displayed in panel, if panel hamburger menu was clicked - not found touchpad icon is displayed
