What's wrong with the large trackpad?
- fallensatan 7y agoNot OP but my problem with larger trackpad was unwanted mouse movements. Maybe it was the way I rest my palms while typing but I never had this issue with previous mbp models.
- geuis 7y agoYeah I dislike the bigger trackpad. There’s nowhere to comfortable rest my hands on it. At work they gave me a 2018 MBP and after 2 weeks of suffering I returned it for a 2015 version.
- sooheon 7y agoI prefer to rest my hands on either side of it, simply to prevent ulnar deviation style wrist angle.
- SkyPuncher 7y agoI personally find it unnecessarily large. My thumbs/palms are constantly touching the corners. The 2015 touchpad is plenty large enough to accomodate my needs.
- PunksATawnyFill 7y agoYep, the large trackpad is another design blunder. The heels of your hands are resting on it much of the time, resulting in the cursor suddenly jumping off to another part of the screen while you're typing. Even dumber: Apple didn't make it work with the Pencil. WTF? Now THAT would be far more useful than the emoji bar.
- hnjim 7y agoPencil does work with iPad and sidecar which is a much better experience for editing vs what would amount to a very small Wacom tablet on the trackpad (vs effectively an iPad sized Cintiq).
