1TB OLED left touch pad has issues clicking down. (discuss.tchncs.de)

Just curious if anyone else has had issues with their track pads on the OLED models.

My left side touch pad doesn't "depress" down at all in the middle, and requires much more force around the sides to depress down and "click". If you go by the haptic pressure measurement, the right side will click at around 3,000 anywhere on the pad,, but the left side takes about 10,000 around the edges and never does in the middle.

If you don't care about taking it apart, you could adjust the spring on the back of the track pad. I totally dismantled my 512 GB OLED (for a housing swap that didn't fit lmfao) and had to tune the spring a little bit on the right one when I put it back together.

I'd probably call it "intermediate" difficulty, but be careful and take pictures as you tear down to facilitate putting it back together.

So it seems it's something straight software based. While it felt like something physically wrong with the pad, it works perfectly in games.

Just putting this here in case anyone else has the same question. See how it does in a game instead of in the steam OS.
