Poll: To click or not to click?

Click-to-Click

My Black MacBook has the option of tap-to-click and I have used it before, but I love the feeling of *click* when I use the click-to-click.

tap to click all the way baby!!!



your machine is just weird mine does that just fine!

lol, just my luck. So just to be clear, I should be able to just put my thumb say on the trackpad without clicking it and then use my other fingers to select test or files or whatnot? I do not need to physically click the pad with my thumb to make that happen? I was surprised when I first got this machine that it DIDN'T work this way, what with it being all multi-touchy, but it definitely doesn't. :/

Click for selection. Tap for everything else.

I only "click" for drags... Everything else I tap-to-click. It's just so easy and I swear the trackpad knows when you want to click and when you don't haha... it's amazing. Tap-to-click works much better (more accurate) on this laptop versus my Dell.

Plus click-to-click is damn annoying... it's so loud, and the trackpad is really only good for clicking in the lower half since it's just on a hinge.

Former clicker, now a tapper...

Yup - me too...now. I was never a tap-to-click person before I got my unibody Macbook last week. I actually think it works so much better on this machine than any previous one.

After using the Multi-touch gestures though, everything else seems like an antique... using the Macs in the office is now like stepping back in time... Sigh...

Who thinks that they made the new trackpad physical click so loud that it would get people to switch to 'tap-to-click' so they could get rid of the button as well in future? Conspiracy?

I just turned "tap to click" on in my Core Duo MacBook to see what everyone is talking about. Pretty neat but I think my MacBook's trackpad is too small to really enjoy it. I'm going back to "click to click".

I'll probably try it again if/when I upgrade.

I always click-to-click. I hate the tapping option because too many times I've click when I didn't want to.

Click to click. Tap to click is just too unreliable for me. I keep clicking when I don't want to. And it's even worse when selecting multiple items etc.

It's just like the setting where the trackpad automatically releases a drag after a moment of inactivity, but not as bad.

I have the new AluMB with the glass trackpad. At least with my trackpad, its insanely hard to click anywhere on the trackpad. You have to push so hard on it that I end up clicking somewhere else accidently.I tried for the first few months and I just got tired of having to push so hard. I know that it is possible to adjust the hardness of the click. But what is easier, opening up your case and possibly voiding the warranty or turning the tap to click on? Like the other guy said, the tap to click is very precise on the glass trackpad. Does anyone else have this problem with the glass trackpad or am I some type of freak?

My in-laws have the new Macbook and I've always used the trackpad like it still had a button on the bottom. I click down towards the bottom of the trackpad rather than just anywhere. I haven't had a problem with it yet.

I like tap to click better. It's much more quiet.
