Q: Macbook Pro 15 Retina ForceTouch Problem?

Everything is great on my late 2015 15" Pro for the entire 6+ months I've owned it....

 

However, this morning I opened it up and (I'm not being weird here) the Touchpad feels completely different.  It used to be nice and crisp on the stage 1 click and then the force click with very feelable "Notches" if you will in the Trackpad's travel.  Now it's soft and spongy, I can hardly tell the different between click and force click.  I've checked all of my settings, just updated to the latest El Capitan after I discovered how awful it felt this morning, thinking the lack of update was the problem, but it changed nothing.  All of my settings on the trackpad are what they've always been, Haptic & ForceTouch features on, sensitivity "Light". 

 

The trackpad really feels awful now, not that nice crisp feel of before, like I said, this happened from 1 day to the other.  No physical damage was sustained (Unless some angry bear in the middle of the night......................) and no settings/updates etc were changed or updated/downgraded. 

 

My only thought is that somehow lint or something has built up under it (Don't know how that would happen, it's a razor thing crack) and is giving it this sloppy feeling. 

 

 

Let me know your thoughts...

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X El Capitan (10.11.3)
