    Has anyone else noticed how loud and plasticity the trackpad's clicking noise is? Does anyone have any solutions to this? When you google it you get milions of MacBookPro results that are half as loud as most Windows computers... it's kind of stupid. I know you're just going to be like USE A MOUSE but during study hall it really annoys whoever is sitting next to me. I know some computers have a screw inside that controls the distance of the click? Anything? Thanks.

    dunno, what's wrong with "tapping" on the trackpad's area?

    Yep, tap the trackpad instead was my solution after the first day using my DV6TQE.

    I don't think there is a way to simulate the Right Click by tapping though, is there?
