Left Trackpad Calibration Issue.
The pressure sensor's not zeroed, and will sometimes click from a mere touch. Things like updating, swapping between game/desktop mode, or jumping between different control layouts in games seem to trigger it.

If anyone's experiencing this issue, a temporary fix is to simply load into UEFI and that will trigger a reset.

I'm experiencing this issue as well. In my case this starts happening as soon as I start a game in game mode, then after closing the game it continues. Restart or even just sleep mode fixes this

I can confirm this as well with the controller test.
It appears to be a dystematic manufacturing issue or erronous readout.
The right trackpad allows movement across the complete plane at 0/32k intensity while the left trackpad goes up to 8/32k at the lightest touch.
Setting the click threshold >10k helped as a workaround. However, a press function must be set in order for it to take effect.

This issue is extremely troubling when using the keyboard. Any outer keys are not reachable because a key press is registered, toggling the special characters in turn.

Issue seems to have resolved itself for me a few months back, I'm on the preview version. My gut feeling is that it's manufacturing-related as well, or to be more specific a software change not accounting for a hardware change (maybe OLED-related?).
