Is the trackpad affected by the cold?

[sparks2303]

I had my Mac out in the cold (2º) for an hour yesterday and today I noticed that the trackpad wasn't working as well as it did before. I have to press much harder for the click to register on the screen. Is it possible that the pad was damaged by the cold, or is it a temporary state that will pass?

Electronics don't work the best in the cold, just make sure no condensation gets into your mac. Probably just a temporary state.

Guaranteed to work within:


Operating temperature: 50° to 95° F (10° to 35° C)
Storage temperature: -13° to 113° F (-24° to 45° C)
Relative humidity: 0% to 90% noncondensing

Probably just because your finger was cold so its capacitive properties weren't the same and the trackpad didn't register it as a finger. I don't think the electronic itself is damaged.

Thanks to all!
I am starting to believe it's temporary. I see it returning back to normal. Phew, crisis averted!
