Trackpad feels off after battery replacement.
Okay, replaced the battery about a week ago, after 1519 cycles.
New battery is great, works as intended.
But the trackpad is different. It's hard to explain, but it just feels wrong. Everyone else says it feels fine. But like, basically 9 years of using it, I notice it very clearly.
Trackpad also seems a little less responsive, mouse sometimes doesn't respond like it used to.
No, the trackpad ribbon cable is not damaged. The trackpad is not at an odd angle, it is sitting perfectly flat. The battery is not constricting the cable.
Is this a good question?

Are you sure the trackpad cable is okay? It isn’t uncommon for the cable to visually look okay but still be damaged. I would start with Reseating all the connectors and then replace the cable because they aren’t terribly expensive.

@thequacker - I can re-check it, I do know that this issue only started after the battery was swapped. So if it was damaged, it was while replacing the battery. If I was able to I would happily try using another cable and seeing if it preforms different, but I don't have any for my model.
I do have a bunch of A1466 MacBook Airs though, but hey, cable compatibility is probably not possible with it.
