Q: Force Touch Trackpad related

Hi, all. Recently I've bought the 13" MBPr 2015 with the all-new Force Touch Trackpad.

I've been using Magical Trackpad for more than three years and I stick to the "tap to click" feature.

But now I found that the Force Touch Trackpad took harder tap to register a click.

Any ways to alter this setting possible?   Thanks.

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch,Early 2015), OS X Yosemite (10.10.3), null

    Hello DreamSeason,

    Thanks for your question.  The resource below will explain how you can change the sensitivity of the trackpad in System Preferences on your Mac.

     

    Using a Force Touch trackpad - Apple Support
    https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204352

     

    Change trackpad settings

    To adjust the pressure you need to click your trackpad, follow these steps.

    1. From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
    2. Click Trackpad.
    3. Click the "Point & Click" tab.
    4. Find "Click pressure" and adjust the slider to your preference. Note that the sound of the click changes with the click pressure setting.

     

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

     

     

     

    Enjoy your new Mac!

    Thanks for your reply. I've consulted specialist online already.

    The thing I care fore specifically is to change the setting for tapping not clicking since I've chosen to tap to click. But it seems there is not any solutions to that up till now. Maybe I need to change a little bit from the habits developed from Magic Trackpad.

    What is the problem if the Force Touch Trackpad doesn't work at all after computer wake up?

     

    I used the power switch to force power off and then restarted the computer. Force Touch Trackpad then seemed to work okay.
