Hi everyone, I think Framework (cc. @nrp) should be aware that this issue is not limited to an early batch of laptops and that it still happens with current batches. I received my Framework Laptop 13 today, September 20th 2023. It’s a 13th Gen Intel model (i7-1360p) in a DIY configuration. The sticker on the paper cover of the body indicates a manufacturing date of July 2023. I did experience this issue after booting into Fedora Linux 39 (Beta): - Touchpad movement worked fine, - Touchpad gestures worked fine, - Touchpad scrolling worked fine, - Clicking did NOT work. - Right clicking did NOT work. This thread was the first Google search result for “framework laptop 13 touchpad click not working”. **I got my clicking to work**. Here’s what I did: - Disabling “PS2 Emulation” (as recommended by @Kieran_Levin in [this thread](http://community.frame.work/t/solved-sort-of-touchpad-not-working-fully/3512/9)) did NOT fix the issue. - Clicking by pressing very hard on the touchpad (while taking care not to damage the laptop or anything) about two dozen times fixed the issue permanently. All I had to do was push down on the touchpad, hard, about two dozen times. Clicks now work without any issue and without undue force. I have absolutely never been more thrilled to unpack and build a tech product. This laptop is every dream I’ve had about open, truly personal general purpose computing come to life at once and I will be writing more about that in the future, I don’t want to go off topic here. This clicking issue was a bit frightening at first (I was concerned I had damaged the touchpad somehow while assembling the laptop, even though assembly went without issue) but given how easy it was to fix, I don’t consider myself disappointed ultimately. Going to continue setting up my Framework now – paused to quickly write this up. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.frame.work/t/touchpad-not-registering-clicks/3662)._
