    2015 Macbook Air keyboard and trackpad issues

    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. Well worth the upgrade! 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...

    Magic Trackpad… Batteries draining super fast.

    I have noticed the past few months the batteries are draining incredibly fast. I used to eke out two months or so… well that was when I bought the trackpad new a couple years ago. Right now I am down to 1 1/2 weeks, which is frankly ridiculous! For the record: Mac mini, 2.6 GHz Intel Core i5...

    Anyone else noticed this? It used to be that the cursor on screen would track perfectly with movements on the trackpad. Now there's a lot of skittishness; the cursor pausing when my finder is still moving, the cursor jumping around, etc It's a bit of a nightmare...

    I've just upgraded to Sierra, and now after three consecutive scroll movements, the trackpad scrolling distance doubles or triples. There was something similar in El Capitan, but I must have found how to fix it because I can't remember it being that way lately. I wonder if there is a fix for...
