Got my M5 MBP, trackpad doesn't feel and sound "tight"

[Bubbler328]

I just got this thing and when I click the trackpad it feels and *sounds* less tight/precise/premium. There's this cheap-sounding faint metallic clicky sound going on if I compare to say an M2 14" MBP I have in the house. Just wondering if anyone else is seeing similar?

Don’t have this issue with mine. Been on it all day since it arrived yesterday evening. Have had 4 pro’s and a couple of airs. The trackpad is DEFINETELY better than my airs. Have you played with sounds at all to change the clicking noise? I get a solid click on mine.

You do know the trackpad doesn't move?

No but sometimes they *do* work their way loose, or a screw may not be fully tightened. I've seen some complaints from M1 owners that it's a bit more wobbly than it was when new.

Does it feel grainy?

Macbook Air 15 inch - Trackpad texture

I bought the Macbook Air M2 15-inch and compared to my office laptop which is a Macbook Pro M1 16-inch, the trackpad texture feels much coarser. The best way I can describe the difference is that the MBP's trackpad feels like smooth glass with gloss finish when I scroll but the MBA's trackpad...

Did you do a pinch test on it yet?

No I wouldn’t say so

Easy way to test….turn the macbook OFF, then see if you can detect any kind of wobble or other movement; otherwise, the built in haptics will be fooling your senses when it’s turned on. 🙃
