If a single touch device (or multi touch that tracks fewer digits or less gestures) is what you ultimately want, that would explain all the confusion and need to learn and then retrain your digits how to not trigger any of the many ways gesture recognition will foil your intentions. Just like the iPhone and iOS based devices, there are dozens of gestures in all devices with even more gestures available on the newer devices. It makes me lose time and confuses me several dozen times a day.Īre there ways to make sure the trackpad understands what I am trying to do without getting confused?Īpple magic mice and trackpads are all designed as Multi-Touch devices so every brush and even close calls will register with the capacitive surface as opposed to direct pressure at one point. I am extremely annoyed and disappointed by this erratic behavior - I think it was much easier back when trackpads had a clickable bar, and a non-clickable dragging area. I have been using trackpads for 20 years and it's the first time I find one so approximative and unreliable. Other times, I click on an object and try to drag it, but nothing happens, my index finger just swipes the trackpad without anything moving on the screen.Īnd other times, the trackpad doesn't click when I press down on it, no matter how hard I press down. So I have to undo the last action, and try again. Sometimes, when I want to click an object and drag it, the trackpad thinks I am scaling in or out, and scales the view on my page. The trackpad is very close to the laptop, less than 8 inches away on the same table as the laptop, the battery is fully charged every day.īut the trackpad doesn't behave in a consistent way. I click with my right thumb near the bottom of the Trackpad, and I drag with my index finger. I do a lot of design, so I have to drag and move items several hours a day.
