It mimics the downward motion (or physical depression) of a trackpad by tapping back in the opposite direction of your click, thus simulating the physical movement, and fooling you into thinking the trackpad is moving.Ī traditional trackpad doesn't do any this but instead has a diving board mechanism underneath, and that's what moves downward and clicks.Īpple How to use the Force Touch trackpad examples Force click Taptic Engine is a small device attached to the back of the trackpad. Haptic feedback is made possible due to Taptic Engine.
Haptic feedback allows the trackpad to recreate the sense of touch by simulating vibrations and other motions, meaning it'll let you feel a click on the trackpad, even though the trackpad isn't actually moving downward when clicked. The Force Touch trackpad responds to your taps and presses with haptic feedback technology that you can actually feel. It has "force sensors" under its four corners, and they detect subtle differences in the amount of pressure you apply, making it possible to perform a variety of different functions in different apps.įorce sensors not only detect your click, but also move the trackpad laterally toward you, mimicking the downward motion of a trackpad. The Force Touch trackpad doesn't actually move when pressed.
You can adjust the feature's sensitivity, so that the pressure needed to register a click is determined by you.įorce Touch can even tell whether you're clicking with your thumb or another finger and auto-adjusts to the sensitivity level. Apple describes Force Touch as the "most significant new sensing capability" since it included Multi‑Touch in older MacBook laptops.Īpart from the usual gestures (like scrolling, swiping, and pinching), the Force Touch trackpad has a customisable feature aptly titled Force Touch.
