If you are in any way unsure about moving forward, consider a return of your device first. ・・・・・・・ For many years I've been a bit of a trackpad snob. Favoring glass surfaces and sturdy click mechanisms, it is too often I find that Chromebooks don't have quite the right feel to them. Usually this manifests in the trackpad hinge being configured a bit oddly and resulting in what I call a floating trackpad. When the spring mechanism of the trackpad hinge pushes up too harshly on the surface, it creates a scenario where there is travel in the trackpad before it engages the buttons underneath. This means users feel a sort of double-click every time they depress the trackpad. And it drives me nuts. For many Chromebooks, there is a simple fix that can be done under the hood and with a bit of tweaking, you can dial in the trackpad action and have a far more solid feeling under your fingers. If this is something you've dealt with and been frustrated by, we have put together a video outlining how to fix it in many Chromebooks. Some devices have a slightly-different internal setup, so it won't work on every single Chromebook. From my experience, however, this procedure will work on most devices.
