trackpad

Hello! I use external trackpad with and somehow always get accidental trackpad input. Karabiner-Element seem to have a function to shrink the "trackpad" but I cant get it to work, do you guys have any solution for this? Have a nice day! I also asked about this here...

I'm not sure where to post this, so I'm posting here. I brought my wife's 2019 Macbook Pro in for a battery replacement and mentioned that the trackpad doesn't "click" anymore, but still works otherwise. It's as if the "force touch" setting is turned off in system preferences but otherwise...

Hey folks, I am a big fan of setting the TrackPad click volume to a minimum. Some older devices offered the "silent clicking" setting which unfortunately disappeared for the newer models. Currently, I am testing a M3 Max MacBook Pro 16.2" and find the minimal clicking volume of the Trackpad...

I just bought a Magic Keyboard and trackpad almost two weeks ago. However, I am kind of regretting it just because they might be updated to USB-C at the "Scary fast" event. If there are new iMacs, the keyboard and trackpad/mouse that comes with it will most likely be updated to USB-C (we have...

Hi, I’ve noticed that when zooming in on a JPEG with the preview app using pinch to zoom on the trackpad the zooming is very glitchy and not smooth at all. Eventually it stops working completely. This doesn’t appear to be as big an issue during quick look but when the photo is opened in the...

I've had this 15in MacBook Air for over a week now and I'm having a hard time with the trackpad because it's not smooth to use like my M1 MBA or any other Macbook I've tried at the Apple Store. The trackpad feels "coarse" or "sticky" almost which makes it a displeasure to use. It requires...

Hello all, I just got a new MBP 14 inch, M2...I never wanted to upgrade from my 2015 MBP, which I love so much, but I'm travelling in Thailand and I got a swollen battery, Apple told me I'd need to travel to Singapore to get a new battery and that was almost half the price of a new laptop for...

CONFIRMATION OF TAP-TO-CLICK ISSUE WITH THUMB: Apple says they haven't heard of it Over the last 4 months, I have purchased 3, 14" M1 MBPs. 1. M1 refurbished (returned) 2. M1 Brand New (returned) 3. M1 MAX refurbished (Pending return) ON ALL 3, the tap to click with my THUMB is interment...

For a specific use case, I would need a USB-C multitouch touchpad for iPad Pro. Does anyone know if there are any other options than the Magic Trackpad using wired USB connection? Apple documentation is not clear whether such device must be MFi-compliant, or if a generic multitouch touchpad...

I've been experiencing a weird scrolling "thing". Basically, after I've scrolled using the trackpad and just as I lift my fingers, the MBP will scroll a little more. It jumps up or down a few more lines. It's not a huge thing and initially I wondered if I was imagining it. But I have now...

Setup: MBP 14" M1 Max 2021, macOS Monterey and now Ventura Caldigit TS4 with NEC 4K display connected via display port Apple latest wireless keyboard and trackpad used in clamshell mode (lift lid to power up, shut lid after seeing boot up apple logo, wait for cal digit and display lights to go...

Is the Magic Trackpad as easy as to use the mouse ? Or better ? Right now, with my external monitor at 2560 x 1440 and the MBP's screen on the left, navigating the mouse pointer across screens is longer process - so was wondering if the Trackpad simplifies this ? Would I be able to click and...

I can no longer click by pushing down on the trackpad. Moving the cursor works fine, and I can get a click by hovering over where I want to click and then tapping. If I'm correct, the trackpad doesn't actually "push" mechanically, right? It's all haptic feedback. Or am I wrong about this? I...

Hey guys, I recently bought a 14" M1 MBP (2021) and I'm generally happy with it. There is this one strange issue though. When scrolling up or down a page with a two-finger swipe, every now and then a swipe doesn't register at all. I just made a video of scrolling down the MacRumors homepage –...

Do you use a trackpad? To you, is it better than using a mouse/magic mouse? I've been thinking of getting and using one. Then again, am still new to fully moving from Windows to macOS...

The space where a window is draggable (=basically empty space in menubar) seems to have shrunken for years now. I like how window title bars and menubars have been merged over the years to make better use of the vertical screen estate. But tbh I feel this makes it challenging at times to find a...

I have a macbook air 2020 and the trackpad is very sticky due to dust I live in Colorado and small sand makes it inside from strong wind. Its inevitable. I keep my laptop closed when Im not using it and I using compressed air to clean it. But its not enough How can I clean my trackpad? It...

Hello, I received my MBP 16" M1 Pro in December. I also have another one with the exact same specs from work. Both of them have the same frustrating problem. Randomly, the pinch-to-zoom and swipe back gestures stop working. Force touch also stops working during that time. For the very limited...

The built in functions take advantage of 1, 2, 3, or 4, finger actions on trackpads on Mac. Force touch is also enabled for 1 finger actions. But Apple does not appear to have reserved any unique force touch functions for multiple fingers force touching simultaneously. (or for 5 fingers either)...

Dear friends, i have a question about interior design of trackpad/touchpad of m1 pro 2021 As you can see in the link (video) below, the trackpad consists of multiple layers. There is glass surface on top, under the glass touch surface there is a black layer which contains , pressure receptors...
