    Instead of pressing down firmly on the trackpad, you can simply tap with one finger to register the click. Tapping with two fingers will bring up the context menu (right-click menu).

    You can enable this feature for System Preferences. To get started, click the Apple icon in the top-left corner of the screen, and then select the “System Preferences” option.
