Q: Can I disable the force click action for 'tap to click' in the 2015 version?

In the 2015 MBP version can I disable the force click action in system preferences, and use to tap to click as with previous trackpads?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8), late 2010

    Hey petunia42,

     

    You should be able to disable Force Click on the new MacBook Pros, as noted in the following article:

     

    To turn off Force click, deselect the “Force click and haptic feedback” checkbox. This will disable the functionality described in the Trackpad preferences pane.

     

    Using a Force Touch trackpad - Apple Support

     

    Cheers,

    - Brenden

    Hi Brenden,

     

    Thanks very much for your reply.

    Unfortunately I was told differently by the sales rep at the Apple store and I didn't buy it partially for that reason. They did not have one on display to try out. Ended up with a MBA which is just fine but wish I knew....it may have made a difference. Thanks once again.

    You have 14 days to return it ffor a refund or replacement. My wife bought the 'old' 2015 model a month ago and I got the new one yesterday. Besides the trackpad the differences aren't dramatic. Mine does read and write files faster but we saw that difference only when we loaded a video on each computer to edit. But wow, she had to wait an exta 15 seconds   the horror!

     

    enjoy your computer. New or old, it is sweet.
