Right pad is frequently a mouse, often worth using a trackpad mouse for menu/inventory management.
The trackpads are huge for PC games with a lot of inputs, but can also be used for communication. There's a lethal company control scheme that uses the trackpads to 1-click type the console commands to navigate to moons/view players on monitor/etc. I have a Deep Rock Galactic profile that uses the left trackpad as a mini keyboard to type "r", "gg", "wait", and a few other frequently used communications.
In any games that support quicksaving I usually have some quicksave/quickload options in a menu on the left trackpad.
