When I try to left click on my trackpad, it takes a ridiculous amount of physical force to push it two clicks.
The old Macs had a simple, clean click and these feel as if they are broken-- like you are clicking through broken glass. Happens on more than one Mac I have used.

Also, when I am typing, my wrist hits the track pad and moves the cursor to a different line than what I meant to type on. I think this is because the track pad is too big.
This user experience is best if submitted directly to Apple:

I wanted feedback to see if maybe I was in error somewhere and to see if others had the same experience. Submitting user feedback to Apple will not accomplish that.
If you have a hardware issue—In or out of warranty you can get a free over the counter 'Apple Service Diagnostics' test /assessment Make an appointment for a "hardware issue"—
Yeah, I realized I can use one click to hold down for scrolling. So it is easier.
The old trackpad was so much better. It was one of the things that made Mac leaps and bounds better than pc laptops and they ruined it.

No, it is fine. 90% of the time I use a mouse which solves the trackpad challenges.
Track pad is so hard to left click. Am I missing something?
