trackpad click sound, how does yours sound?

its loud and can be hard to push, but you go into trackpad settings and change it to 'tap' clicking if you want, that's what i did.

Yeah, mine's pretty loud, too. I think with it being glass and so large, the whole thing just amplifies the click from the switch underneath. But it's not as loud as the button on my wife's iBook G4. I can hear that thing from the next room.

I have the same issue with the sound of the click on the new trackpad. It's REALLY loud as opposed to my older MacBook Pro which nearly silent.

The button is also WAY harder to click than the original MBP. In fact, it's so much harder to click, after prolonged use my wrist is starting to hurt. This never happened to me before on any of my other Macs. I've had a 17" PowerBook G4 and the original Core Duo MacBook Pro. None of those had difficult to press or loud buttons.

I'm worried that I'm going to start having some real serious wrist problems with this new machine. I love the speed, the style, and I really like the keyboard. But the trackpad button is driving me crazy.

I sure hope it will get easier to press over time. I've tried using the Tap to Click feature, but that never works very well for me. I constantly end up selecting things and opening things I had never intended on accessing.

I wonder if they are all like that? Maybe it could be swapped out for a trackpad with a lighter touch on the button.

Thanks,

Brendan

I have found it to be loud, but not at all hard to push. If I push at the top maybe, but not near the bottom. I actually have found this to the first trackpad I am not constantly looking to plug a mouse in and use instead.

Just doing basic stuff like surfing and using iWork, I find it easy with this trackpad.

Is the trackpad supposed to be "hinged" at the top? or is the whole thing supposed to depress?

yes, the top part of the pad is not pressable.

i dunno if i'm alone..
but please tell me if you have the same thing going on:

a. the top of the trackpad does not click at all
b. different sides of the trackpad are elevated higher/lower
c. if i use the tap, and i tap on the left half of the trackpad, it is weird low-quality-manufacturing sounding
d.if i click on the right, it's harder to click on the left

IT'S VERY VERY ANNOYING
IS THIS REASON TO EXCHANGE?

ppmov,

Don't quote me on this but I don't think the top of the trackpad is supposed to click. I think it is somewhat on a hinge or something supported at the top and I believe the button being pressed is actually at the bototm. On my other half's MacBook, it physically requires more pressure to click the button as you move up the pad.

Still waiting for my 2.8 to come in on Monday though so I cannnot yet report on a MBP.

yeah, i just changed my settings to "tap" clicking. its more efficient that way, IMO.

hmmm, here the same why is this new trackpad so loud??!!

i have had all powerbook and macbook pro revisions, but not in one was the trackpad so loud like here.....and i cant use the tap tipping...

i help me self:
