For example, click on an icon and then Force Click to get a QuickLook, or click on a word and then Force Click to get a dictionary definition. How you set it up and adjust how Force Click works, however, is completely up to you!</p> <p>Note: Force Click is currently available on the 2015 MacBook and 2015 MacBooks Pro, and the new Magic Trackpad 2.</p> <ul><li><a href="#enable">How to turn Force Click on or off for the Mac[/url]</li> <li><a href="#silence">How to silence Force Click on or off for the Mac[/url]</li> <li><a href="#assign">How to assign Force Click on the Mac[/url]</li> <li><a href="#firmness">How change the firmness of Force Click on the Mac[/url]</li> </ul><p><a name="enable" id="enable">[/url]</p> <h2>How to turn Force Click on or off for the Mac</h2> <p>With a Force Click, you can do everything from bringing up Quick Look to Look Up, preview maps and websites, and more. If you like the way it works and feels, it's on by default and you can leave it that way. If you'd rather turn it off, however, and use your Force Touch trackpad more like a traditional trackpad, you can easily do that too. And if you later change your mind, you can turn it right back on. </p> <ol><li>Launch <strong>System Preferences</strong>.</li> <li>Click on <strong>Trackpad</strong>.</li> <li>Uncheck <strong>Force Click and haptic feedback</strong> to disable.

And that means, if you'd rather not hear that simulated sound, you can turn it off. Sure, your keyboard will still clack away, but if all you're doing is swiping and clicking around, and you don't want to hear it, you can mute it.</p> <ol><li>Launch <strong>System Preferences</strong>.</li> <li>Click on <strong>Trackpad</strong>.</li> <li>Check <strong>Silent Clicking</strong> to disable the sound.

</li> </ol><p>If you later change your mind, simply perform the same steps again and switch to the other option.</p> <p><a name="firmness" id="firmness">[/url]</p> <h2>How change the firmness of Force Click on the Mac</h2> <p>By default, Force Click requires a "medium" level of intensity to activate. Apple gives you the option, however, of switching to "light", which makes it easier to engage, or "firm", which requires you to put even more muscle behind it. Whether you're having a hard time triggering Force Click, or you're triggering by mistake, there's likely a setting that's perfect for you.</p> <ol><li>Launch <strong>System Preferences</strong>.</li> <li>Click on <strong>Trackpad</strong>.</li> <li>Select between <strong>Light</strong>, <strong>Medium</strong>, and <strong>Firm</strong>.
