Don't know where you got this idea. My mid-2014 MBP has a physical click, where the trackpad actually sinks when I press on it.

Ah right, it turns out I misunderstood the EveryMac page about the Mid-2014 [0], with the wording 'a "no button" glass "inertial" multi-touch trackpad'. Thought that was their wording for the non-moving trackpad! haha :) It's the 2015 that had the taptic engine trackpad first, I think.

Does it click when the power is off?

Yep! And I can see it physically depressing when applying pressure.
