Rob, I never use a physically ‘click’ on any of my track pads (i have about 6 I use of a regular basis) - too much effort.
Instead I use tap to click - one of the options in Trackpad preferences. Then to ‘drag' a window where you normally need to hold down a physical click, go to preferences, accessibility then select mouse & tracked, on the "Trackpad Options…" you can enable dragging without a physical click required by using 1.5 taps (like a double tap but keep your finger on the track pad after the second tap), I find this much easier. Credit to Stephen for telling me about this some time ago. Hope you find this helpful.
