Track pad is so hard to left click. Am I missing something?

When I try to left click on my trackpad, it takes a ridiculous amount of physical force to push it two clicks.

The old Macs had a simple, clean click and these feel as if they are broken-- like you are clicking through broken glass. Happens on more than one Mac I have used.

the track pad is too big.

I wanted feedback to see if maybe I was in error somewhere and to see if others had the same experience. Submitting user feedback to Apple will not accomplish that.
