I ordered a Framework 12 and had this exact same issue, even trying to adjust it manually didn’t work. It’s a work laptop so we had to get it working asap so I was hopeful that just ordering a replacement keyboard/touchpad would just work, but that one also had the exact same issue. Next step is to try and adjust this one manually, but overall I’d say this is quite disappointing. ---
