Uh, okay. So if you use touch-to-click, then why did you say, "I like force touch on the iPhone, but you have to press too hard on this?" If you solely use touch-to-click, then why would you complain about how hard the rMB's trackpad is to press?

FWIW if you change the force required to "click" the trackpad like I showed in my previous post, you don't have to press anywhere near as hard to force-click as you do on the iPhone.

Those are different features. You really should learn before you start mouthing off. Read the thread this has already been covered.

I should learn more? That's rich. I'm not the one bitching about the size of my computer and the size/clickiness of its trackpad after I bought it. It seems to me that the smart thing for you to have done would've been to test it out before you walked out of the store with it.

Plus, I understand Force Touch and general clicking are different features. Regardless, it still doesn't make sense to me (and obviously others since "this has already been covered") why you'd use touch-to-click (instead of regular clicking) and ever bother with Force Touch. And if you honestly think that Force Touch requires too much force, even on its lightest setting, you really need to exercise more.

Anyway, I tried to help you out twice and both times you poked me in the eye. Awesome. I'm done.

Wow you need to go outside and see the sun! Also you are still confusing force touch with a regular mouse click. They aren't the same. There is no setting for force touch.

Do you also propose that people who buy the rMB or MacBook Air for their lightness should just get the Macbook Pro and "exercise more"?
 
My new MacBook is very nice. Smooth, fast with fairly long battery life it does the job it was intended to do very well.

But then again I can say the exact same thing about the plethora of MBA's and MBP's I've had over the years.
My current 2015 15" MBP is particularly fast and effective.

My point is this: they are different... plain and simple. None are perfect, All require some degree of acclimation on the part of the user since they are not what you _were using_ and that's to be celebrated :D

The System Preferences setting I posted earlier also affects the force required to initiate Force Touch. Give it a try.

Obviously I was being facetious, but now you're just trying to put words in my mouth. I actually bought the rMB (versus a different MacBook) expressly for its size -- and I exercise a lot!
