My cursor is being ridiculous.

So I have a ‘10 MacBook Pro. A couple weeks ago, I got a little water on the trackpad and it basically did the opposite of what I wanted for a while. It’s possible a drop got in the keyboard, too.

Nowadays, my computer works fine for a while, then the cursor gets jerky and random stuff starts getting highlighted or clicked on (and deleted if I’m writing). This still happens with an Apple Bluetooth mouse. I restarted the computer, but it still happens.

Any ideas?

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015) Trackpad Issue Hi everyone, I've recently been having an issue with my Macbook's built in trackpad. A few days ago, seemingly randomly, it started glitching. At times it will be completely unresponsive, sometimes the cursor will move but only when you avoid the centre of the trackpad, sometimes it will work fine and sometimes it will work, but be jumpy and laggy. I've booted in safemode as well as turning off Wi-Fi and bluetooth to see if it's some software thats causing this or if there is interference of another kind and the issue persists. I'm able to move a cursor perfectly fine when a USB mouse is plugged in. I also had not updated to the latest OS at the time and did so thinking this would resolve my problem but it didn't make a difference. At the time this started happening my Macbook was sat on my desk, I haven't dropped it/knocked it and there was no liquid spilled on to it. Has anyone else experienced this issue and/or does anyone know how to resolve it?

Randomly and frequently my left click button just stops working hello boys so my macbook has had a long running issue and i cant seem to fix it. the problem is that randomly, and frequently my left click button just stops working. (i use a usb dell mouse) or it's getting registered as being held down. i can only resolve this my resetting my mac or closing it for a while. to live with this, i set it so that the primary mouse button is the right click button and thats fine, but its extremely hard to use my mac still. ive tried many different mice so there's nothing wrong with my mouse, and it of course happens with the trackpad too. how could i solve this? thanks for any useful help [Re-Titled by Moderator]
