hard to press touchpad on 2017 macbook air

Hi robertfromdumfries,

Thanks so much for using Apple Support Communities. It's great to have you here. If I understand your post correctly, you would like to adjust the settings for the trackpad on your wife's trackpad.

Adjust double-click and scrolling speed of your mouse or trackpad is a resource that goes over how you can adjust your trackpad settings.

I hope you find this helpful.

Cheers!
