Accidental Secondary Clicking on MacBook Pro

[Scary Spice]

The thing about that is, it reminds me of the whole "You are holding it wrong" bs that Apple tried pull on us during antennagate. Why when, no one complained about the keyboard/trackpad in previous generations, infact said they were the best, would they suddenly tell us "No, we want you to like this, so we can make the laptop 2mm thinner". Fine, so this new keyboard helped it get thinner, but why the gigantic track-pad, why do it Apple. Who asked for it? Apple already had the largest track-pad in the market, why make it twice the size when no one asked for it!!! /rant

I always use tap to click so, this is quite a deal breaker if it is something very prevalent and not easily fixed software-side.

1. Tap-to-click BLOWS.
2. You're clicking it WRONG™.

I smell software update. (perhaps to make the effective trackpad area smaller but better false input filtering for sure as the bezel less iPhones are coming!)

Yeah, I have this problem a lot. I also have a lot of problems with it just plain not registering clicks at all sometimes. Like, hands completely off the machine, touch the corner of the track pad, push down until mechanical click, nothing happens.

I set click pressure to "light" and it seems more responsive that way. Still lots of trouble with it thinking it was a secondary click.

This strikes me as really busted, and a good argument for physically separate buttons. Also, I never had this problem on reasonably-sized trackpads.

I have the identical problem you mentioned above plus the secondary click issue. It's basically a defective trackpad issue. I decided to return my Touch Bar unit and get my $3,500 back. For that kind of money, I want a pleasant experience, not a frustrating one.

No one asked for this larger trackpad, Apple, no one.

I am not sure whether it's actually a defective part. I did notice that if I set the click pressure to "light", it became a lot better. Still had the accidental right click problem, though.
