| There are many other ways to right click thru gestures and swipes, taps etc, at least when you use the BetterTouchTool add-on and I think apple has this option too. |

on one or two of the podcasts that I listen to and in some articles I've read there is discussion about how this will integrate with a future product/device be it a brand new device or a refreshed existing device.
I think a combo unit would be nice but I am not going to hold out for one. If they do make one I am sure it will be as impressive as some of their other offerings. |
wouldn't be surprised if it would be apple TV. |
my thought exactly. The second I saw this thing I figured it was a way to introduce a sexy input device that doesn't look like a keyboard/mouse, and where else do we want an input device that doesn't look geeky and 'computer' like... the lounge room. |
I tried a Magic Trackpad this way and it's pretty poor because you can't click it on the cushion or your knee or anything except a firm, flat surface. |

It should be tappable, setup in the System Prefs, then it won't need to be clicked.

Huh????
My MTP works with just the lightest touch.
A hint of a tap is all that is necessary.
If your having problems I would return it
and try another.
I'm disabled and use it on my bed.
Not a firm surface.
You shouldn't be having problems.

You are completely correct. Changing this setting makes it much more usable on the couch. Maybe a little too sensitive in this mode for every day relaxed use leaning back in your lazyboy, but definitely better than I initially thought. Thanks! |
