I've a new iMac with Apple keyboard and Trackpad 2. I'm coming from my old MacBook Pro to this new system and wanted a similar keyboard and trackpad arrangment, so I got one of these
I love it, BUT the trackpad is so very sensitive. I swear it can detect my finger when it's a hair's breadth from actually touching it. So, every time I accidentally bump it with my palm or wrist the cursor jumps while I'm typing.
Is there a way to configure it so that it's less sensitive? I think this is called "palm rejection", but I haven't found anything about how to configure the trackpad to NOT be so sensitive yet.

I'm actually one of the 'studs' from the StUDS Collective that designed The Wedgie. The challenge you brought up is one we've wrestled with trying to find a good solution for without over-complicating the design of the tray. I use the tray daily, but don't use 'tap to click' so it's less of an issue for me, but here are a couple of low tech solutions we've come up with.
Turn the trackpad around backwards and use the "better touch tool" mentioned above to invert all of the functions on the trackpad. This makes the top edge recessed enough that it avoids contact with your palm. I also regularly use this configuration for charging the trackpad without removing it from the tray.
We've also developed a little silicone bumper that helps with the problem too. This is still something we're playing with so it's not listed for sale anywhere.
