Step 2: Look for Secondary click, and make sure that it is selected. Select it and may sure that you are in the Point & Click tab. This time, look for Trackpad, which should be right by the Mouse option. Step 1: Head over to our friend System Preferences, which should be in your menu bar. If it isn’t working, you’ll probably need to do some adjusting in System Preferences, which we explain below. Once clicked, it should bring up your right-click options immediately, regardless of where on the trackpad you click. It works with other fingers, but this combination is the most accurate and consistent. With your index finger resting on the center of the trackpad, click down with your middle finger. Because there are no individual buttons on a MacBook trackpad, you’ll need to perform a two-finger click to access right-click functionality. Next is the one MacBook users use most, due to its ease of access. The control key can be found on the bottom left corner of the MacBook keyboard, sandwiched between the function and option keys.Īs long as it’s held down, the control key switches the trackpad to right-click mode, so just keep your finger pressed to keep right-clicking. Just press the Control key, and tap or click anywhere on the trackpad. The first option is the easiest to use, especially if you’re coming from Windows.
All of these techniques also work for Apple’s Magic Trackpad, which is nearly identical to the MacBook version. What’s worse, sometimes the rules change for newer MacBooks.įortunately, there are a few easy ways to right-click no matter your preferences. The multi-touch trackpad is sensitive, but it doesn’t include any obvious tells or buttons for left/right-clicking, which can confuse Mac newbies. Let’s start with the most common (and confusing) method of clicking: The MacBook’s trackpad.
