Glitchy behavior with the Magic Trackpad

magic-trackpad

My Magic Trackpad (on a 2011 iMac) keeps randomly clicking, which causes random text selects, etc. Also the cursor seems glitchy while it's happening too, it'll slow down and erratically move around.

I'm not using any extra tools like BetterTouchTool, and it's worked fine for the past few months since I got it. I've tried new batteries and a new OS X user account.

Anyone know what the issue could be? Is it a known issue, should I just ring Apple to get a replacement?

EDIT: Just tried it on Windows via Bootcamp, and it does the same thing, so it must be a hardware problem.

Turns out it was a hardware issue. Got a replacement from Apple, and it works fine!
