keyboard to trackpad cable for macbook air

This was definitely annoying me.īy the way, my trackpad felt normal without the battery as well, but the seated battery actually helps support the trackpad and I believe that is intentional and part of the design. Aside from the clicking problem, the trackpad would also rattle a bit while just using 'tap to click' - so it was also a bit loose. The one on the 2015 was raised a bit to the left, and needed harder clicks than the clicks that were needed on the right hand side. The one on the 2011 MBA is evenly seated and clicks are effortless throughout.

I also noticed a big difference with the trackpad between both machines. The travel between the two is the same, but the spring-back/feedback beneath the fingers is not as solid as with the 2011 keyboard. The keys do wobble a bit more, make a bit more noise to the touch just as you demonstrated, and they feel more hollow. I also have a 2011 11' MacBook Air, and I immediately noticed that the keyboard on the 2015 MBA was not as good as the one on the 2011. I wanted to buy the newest one available after Apple killed it. I picked up a new sealed 2015 11' MacBook Air (i7, 8GB, 512GB) from B&H last year (they had a few lingering maxed out models in stock). I have turned on tap to click so it's not a huge deal, but something I'd like to remedy if possible. The previous owner told me that he replaced the battery in this machine as the old one 'wouldn't charge anymore' so I'm wondering if that has something to do with it. My 2011 was even across the whole bottom and was easier to click in general. On the left side a moderate amount of pressure is needed to click but on the right side, much more is (more than it should be). The trackpad definitely doesn't feel 'right' as the hardness of the click depends on where along the bottom of the trackpad you're clicking. Did keyboards change along the product line or were there two different manufacturers? I'd love to get that old keyboard feel back if I could, but I'm more curious. One of the things I liked most about my 2011 was the keyboard - very little noise and just the right amount of pressure with the keys feeling very stable - my favorite keyboard I've ever typed on. The keyboard - the keys seem a little stiffer than the 2011, they 'wobble' more and they make more noise. While the performance feels quite good, there are two things about the 2015 that I definitely don't like as much as my 2011 - the keyboard doesn't feel as good and the trackpad is pretty hard to click (and uneven). Hi All! I just purchased a used 2015 Macbook Air i7/8gb/512 and am amazed at how much quicker it feels than my 2011 i5/4gb.
