Hi all, first I want to say I love the build quality of the Pinebook Pro, the key travel is great. In fact I am writing this post using the hardware right now
. I do occasionally do get missed key presses as I have seen by other posts, and am very grateful for the work being put into updating the firmware.
My only current major issue is the touchpad, it is almost non-working. Sometimes it thinks I have it pressed when I don't, even when no fingers are touching it, it will click a on-screen button every few seconds with no hands touching it. Other times it will not register clicks or my fingers moving across the surface of the touch area.
I have tried disabling and re-enabling all of the options under Touchpad in the Mouse Preferences, but nothing has improved its ability to function correctly.
For now the only way I have been able to get around this was to plug in an external mouse, which makes navigating GUIs doable.
Is there some way that maybe the touchpad is not calibrated correctly, or a way to calibrate it?
Thank you to all the people that have worked on this project, I have showed it to others I know and one day hope to make this (Pinebook Pro) my personal daily driver.
p.s. I have also seen posts about fingers slightly touching the touchpad when resting palms for typing causing keypress issues and I have specifically tried to touch type keys with nothing touching the touchpad and was still getting very delayed inupt from the keys.
