2016 Macbook Pro 15" Palm Rejection Issue

Yeah.. either that or you are ****** off 10-20 times a day repositioning your cursor... Spent 3 grand on the computer, i could afford the 11 bucks to save my palms being cut and my cursor jumping around. Overall good value to overcome Apple's design / execution flaw... Job done

This is driving me up the wall!!!!

I have to wear gloves for my carpal tunnel and the trackpad is ******* me off! I can't hover my wrists because it makes the pain too much to handle, and i can't rest my hands because the trackpad does not recognize the gloves as hands.

Seriously apple, between the touch bar and the terrible trackpad... what where you thinking????

I am down to 2-3 instances a day of falses now after using the palm pads (above post)... 11 bucks sure... but take your pick of poisons... an unusable 3 grand machine or one that only F's up 2-3 times per day ... i'll take that one! ;O HORRIBLE DESIGN by a company that is normally pretty good on that front... just don't know what anybody was thinking ....

funny you said that. On a mac for 16 years. Assigned this poor example of Macbook Pro at work with loads of issues (track pad, task bar). Now using it only for work and bought a PC for home! The PC is finally better than the mac, but not because the PC got better!

Palm rejection on the new MacBook Pro is horrible. It simply does not work, and it hasn't worked properly since the system was released. I've never had this problem on any previous MacBook Pro.

Turning off tap to click and everything else doesn't help - there is no solution to this problem. Tons of people have this problem, but still no fix.

This issue is listed as "solved" but it is is not solved at all.

Apple, please fix this!!

priced at a whopping US$11:

I found the best solution is to cut out a small piece of coffee cup sleeves and use it as a palm rest.

Apple makes no promise to read the posts of the forums.

Return it or let Apple know. https://apple.com/feedback

Not yet, although since I followed BobTheFisherman's suggestion above and submitted via the https://apple.com/feedback page, I don't think this will trigger a follow-up support case.

have the very same issue David..... been a MBP user forever...and never had this problem... agree that now I have to keep wrists elevated off the deck... the wrist rests are completely useless cuz the trackpad is so big... I keep accidentally sending unfinished emails cuz the cursor goes somewhere random, and I keep typing til the letters do something crazy to the app....

this is very very frustrating.... will Apple or somebody figure out how to adjust??? I realize it's sensitive to be responsive, but it's really bad....

in fact it happened about 5 or 6 times just typing this note

AARRRGGGGHHHH!!!!!!

The new trackpad is so large, it takes TWO trackpad controllers to service it. From Users' reports, it appear the software to control this big trackpad suffers from communication problem between the two halves as well (for example, three finger gestures where fingers are placed on both sides of the midline do not always register correctly.)

Having the same problem on my brand new 13" Pro. Very annoying so far.

If you can put your MacBook on a lower surface when you have a lot to type, your palms will naturally move away from the trackpad a bit and reduce the problem somewhat. Table height is less than ideal for typing position. Professional typists used to use a lower surface than desk/table height.

That's cute. Insteading of putting pressure on Apple to fix their poor design lets instead try to tow the "you're holding on it wrong" party line.
