Clicking With the Trackpad

Picture 2.jpg

Every Windows laptop I’ve ever encountered has the ability to click with the trackpad turned on by default; Macs, on the other hand, come with this feature disabled by default. I find this feature to be extremely annoying because it tends to lead to a lot of misclicks, but I can see how it can be useful if you get used to it.

To enable this function, Open System Preferences, then go to Keyboard & Mouse, then click on the Trackpad tab. Then go down to “Clicking” and check the box next to it. You can then enable the ability to drag as well.
