This just doesn't happen on Mac trackpads: they have pretty sophisticated and effective palm rejection.
- phist_mcgee 4y agoJust spent about 30 seconds there testing this on my m2. Couldn't convince it to move the cursor with anything below the knuckles.
- pxx 4y agoThat's definitely not the case in my experience. Has this improved in the recent past?
- goosedragons 4y agoNope. It definitely happened to me on my MBP because of the giant trackpad.
- nullwarp 4y agoAs someone with slightly larger than average hands - Yes it does, it happens all the time on both of mine.
- jq-r 4y agoNot sure if that's the case anymore. Had various Apple laptops in the last 15 years and palm rejection worked great. Not so with the 16in M1 MBP. It has trouble with it especially when I wear sleeves. The trackpad might be just a bit too large.
- rootusrootus 4y agoI think it depends on your style. I have problems with mine, because I typically type with only my fingertips touching anything. So if my palm hits the touchpad, it registers as a mouse movement. The only solution I've found that works pretty well for me is to rest my palms on the touchpad when I type, which seems to give it a better clue. But this isn't how I type on any other keyboard, so I keep forgetting.
- macintux 4y agoI have small hands and still have trouble with this, to the point where I almost always have an external keyboard/trackpad with me.
- Vrondi 4y agoYes, it does. At least to me.
