Chosen Solution
Hello,i got my 2019 MacBook Pro 15” today and I realized sometimes the right side of the trackpad doesn’t want to click, same also happens for the left side but not as much.After a search I see some other 2018 mbp users having the same issue.Is this mean we got a defective units or its because of the design? I am adding a video https://youtu.be/8L9HwS04yOE
Your touchpad is not mechanical! Unlike the older trackpad, it also is very large! Apple doesn’t state it but through experimentation its clear the outer edges and corners can evoke palm rejection if the surface is dirty! Using a micro cloth very slightly dampened with 85% Isopropyl alcohol and wiping the surface of the uppercase and the touchpad to remove any skin oils. Even still you may find the sensitivity is still a bit high. So far Apple has not offered a solution. All I can say is get accustomed to using the inner third of the touchpad for the click action
I am having the same issue. Same 2019 15” MBP. I discovered it after I set my mouse right click to be the bottom right corner. I noticed a few times that the pad did not push down. … and same as you, it is mainly on the right side. Did you exchange your MBP? I am going to the Apple store to test out the display models to see if this is due to design or if my track pad is defective.
Hi. Not sure if you still need an answer to this but I just sort of figured it out earlier. I had a Macbook Air 2017 prior to getting my Macbook Pro 2019 and on the former, the trackpad was so easy to use. Now, on my Pro 2019, simply clicking and right-clicking something has become such a burden. I played around with the trackpad settings on the System Preference and it turns out that you just have to turn off the Force Click function. Hope that works out and resolves it for you somehow.
