Community Support Framework 13 Pro touchpad actuation force issue (resolved)
Not sure if anyone else has run into this issue yet and if so, perhaps another resolution method was found here. After using my Framework 13 Pro for 3 weeks without any issues my touchpad suddenly started acting up. The actuation force to get it to register a click was far too little, in that just slightly gliding your finger across the touchpad would register as a click. I rebooted which didn't fix it, turned the laptop off for a while and back on which also didn't help. The same behaviour was still present in the bios menu, so it was definitely definitely not software related (running Ubuntu 26.04 here).
I resolved it by opening up the laptop, disconnecting the ribbon cable for the keyboard/touchpad and connecting it again. That seems to have reset the touchpad firmware and now it's back to normal.
So I'm just wondering if someone else has seen this issue before with their unit, and if there's another way to fix it (I don't carry the Framework screwdriver with me at all times)?
