Hopefully I'm just dumb, but I can't get the "force click" to work on my new MacBook Air. I have enabled it in settings, and have tried both Force Click with One Finger and Tap with 3 Fingers. Neither one will bring up the Quick Look or Look up.

Anyone have any suggestions or is there a setting I'm missing?

Thanks

Hi.
Not working for me as well, Ventura 13.0.1, same machine. It worked before, so I asume is a bug.

Is Force Click working for anyone with the M2 Macbook Air?

I don't use it much but I definitely get the second haptic click if I keep pressing. With text, the force click pops up the definition of a word for example.

What isn't working for you?

I hate to ask the obvious but is it turned on in System Settings/Trackpad?

Is this for an external Trackpad? that shows battery remaining and has a slightly different UI than my M2 MacBook Air's internal trackpad.

Good catch. I do use an external Apple trackpad when using an external monitor. But I just now disconnected the external monitor and trackpad. Now it doesn't show the battery and the settings are for the Air trackpad. Nothing happens when holding down the trackpad, or selecting a word and then holding it down.

The 3 finger does do a lookup but force click with one finger does not. Also no haptic feedback at all. And I still can't preview a link by holding down the trackpad.

Does my laptop need to be connected to power to provide haptic feedback?
