Anyone having trackpad issues with 12" macbook?

Have had unit since mid-April and now noticing that trackpad is not as responsive as first delivered. Plus, bottom of unit seems hotter than it should. I wonder if it's the dreaded battery issue causing trackpad to be challenging to use? I had the first gen macair and dealt with that unit overheating and fan running incessantly so worried.

Anyway, I realize that there are that many units out there yet but is anyone else seeing that as an issue?

MacBook, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3), new 12" macbook with retina display

If you have any concerns about your new MacBook Pro take it to an Apple Store Genius Bar and have the technicians check it for you.

I have not had this with the new MacBook. I use it ~4 hours a day between work and home. Has been very impressive, perfect replacement for the MBA I had before.

I am having several problems with the mouse trackpad. I just bought my new MACBOOK 2015 a few weeks ago and the right click sometimes just doesn't work. Any suggestions?

you do have right enabled correct? By default it's disabled, and you use two fingers to open the context menu (winders right click)

I am hesitant to upgrade to yosemite,for my MacBook late 2009 is using latest of the previous OS 10.9.5

or my track pad (some features of this touch pad) are just broken. there is supposed to be a keystroke to sign-in each of the users, so I can log in when I restart my computer. It is difficult to figure out since my clicking into the box is not working at all. the cursor will not be put in -- I can get around other things, but not that. some humidity and the battery is one cause, or a dirty touchpad. Not sure.

I can use a usb mouse, but I know there is a keystroke that will let me sign-in as user without clicking in the box. That is what is not working on this laptop touchpad/mouse, the ability to resize a window w/click control. So I need a "click-control" keystroke combo that could get my cursor into the sign-in box/slot for pswd entry or just not require a password...

any ideas to fix its touchpad?

Chaz1111 - wondering if you found a cause/resolution to the heating and trackpad issue? My 12" Macbook is also running hotter than I think it should and the trackpad has stopped working altogether.

May I ask you a question? Do you use Chrome Browser and also are you often using Facebook? Cause Chrome always heat things up as well as draining battery, because once you use Google's products, they actually sucking info from you behind the scene without your notice, this hurt not only your data plan, but also processing power, RAM, and battery life, eventually your machine will feel like a hot pan. Go for Safari, this allows your machine to run extra 3 hours for browsing.
