Touchpad notchy on new 2021 pinebook pro
#4
I have one of the earlier release models, and the trackpad has an issue whereby you stop moving your finger, but the mouse cursor sometimes still moves a bit more.  There are threads here and here, and an example video here.

If this is the behaviour you are describing, then there are some mitigations in those threads, but no real solution.

The trackpad firmware appears to be the cause; there is no source code, and the manufacturer of the trackpad appears to be unable or unwilling to fix the firmware.

There was an effort to reverse-engineer the firmware, but this appears to have stalled.
