I sure do.

About 15-20 times a day the cursor jumps from wherever it should be as I'm typing to some other place, presumably because a part of my hand hit the trackpad somewhere. I have big hands and even after a couple months this is still happening all the time.

There was absolutely nothing wrong with the size of the previous trackpad. I do not understand why they did this. It's a huge step down in terms of user experience.

Was anyone clamoring for a larger trackpad? Were people sending in feedback requests for that? I doubt it.

I really do like most other aspects of this machine, though I still feel the TB is useless. (TouchID I like, TB, just a gimmick). But the trackpad drives me nuts.
 
Yes, there are others who feel as you do, and there are earlier threads that go into the details. Most people are enjoying the larger space, though. Try turning tap to click off if you have it enabled. It's in trackpad preferences.

yah there's a bunch of threads. lots of people who hate it, lots who love it. i think it's by far the worst thing about the machine. infinite misclicks all day every day.
 
It would be nice if they would allow you to disable regions of the trackpad, at least for single click interaction.

Does anyone know if bettertouchtool can do that?
