How to tell haptic feedback works

[macguy360]

Here is how you can prove that haptic feedback is working on your new macbook pro.

Place one finger on the trackpad and apply slight pressure to initiate the first click, then increase pressure until you feel a second click. Then place 2 fingers on the trackpad and initiate first click, then increase pressure. You won't feel a second click. This indicates that obviously the click you feel is not a physical reaction of the trackpad but an electronic haptic feedback.

Is it possible to disable it? I'm not sure I want any feedback. I almost never click my mouse.

Clicking cannot be disabled. Only force click can be disabled which is the additional click. You can disable force click in trackpad settings under the main settings menu.

So you will always have partial haptic feedback regardless.

Bummer. Guess I'll try it at the store and see what it feels like.
