Dear friends I would like to ask about the strength of macbook pro 2021 trackpad…As I noticed in the video below, the glass layer on the top and the sensor layer (black) of the magic trackpad2 are attached each other with a special capasitive glue/adhesive. Is this technique same on all touchpads in macbook pros including 2021 models?If a person press the finger with pressure and moves the finger horizontaly (ex:left to right), is it possible to seperate or damage these layers and effect the sensitivity of sensor layer?Thanks for replies.Kind regards… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3eUxSBHV…
@emraha06 I understand your concern, but I suspect if it were to be an issue, it would be something that people are drawing attention to. I am not sure that all of the Touchpads are like this, but I strongly suspect they are. It’s a very strong adhesive that is used for this application. I have worked on a lot of MacBooks. Many in use by college students (and not always ones that are kind and gentle with their electronics). I have never seen that sort of damage. In fact, in my experience those trackpads don’t fail at all unless there has been some sort of other damage (liquid or drop) or the cable is the issue. I suppose anything is possible under the right conditions. But I would be much more likely to think the glass itself is going to break from the accompanying downward pressure from a finger swiping along it laterally, long before the glass actually moves.
The trackpad would only break if something super heavy presses on it. I don’t think you need to worry unless the person in question is Hulk.
@emh06 Hopefully this answers your question: Iv seen lots of trackpads made by apple and iv only ever seen them being damaged by something being dropped onto them They act just as temperd glass usually does, as long as you don’t deliberately try and break it you should be fine as you would probably have a hard time breaking it with your hands only Thanks:-)
