    Are there any alternatives that doesn't have super-sensitive tap on an MBP? Can I adjust it somehow?

    Bugs me too. I tried awhile back to find a fix -- no luck, but maybe someone knows something I don't. Guessing we're just going to have to hope for the best from the next Boot Camp update...

    Perhaps it's tuned for the delicate touch of a basement-dwelling type since few others in the Apple world are expected to even realise that the options settings exist? Damned useless.

    And after plunking down physically on the pad for a while and getting used to that, I'm pressing down hard when switching to other machines and wondering why nothing happens. Would be fine, but as a main point I'm quite afraid of bending the Airs (even more than they get bent in everyday use) further.

    Jeez. If it's any more sensitive than this, I'd only have to breathe on it and the pointer would jump. This is the newest of my 17-inchers - a warranty replacement (already, unsurprising) for one of the ~early '09 17-inchers, Snow Leopard, 3.0.
