Has anyone modified the hinge or springs in a trackpad to change the force required to register a click? Not for the buttons, but for the pad itself.
I'm coming from an older TP (T440s) that only required ~130 grams of force to register a click, while the new one (T14s G3) requires >350g of force. I know that the older ones (hingeless) could be taken apart and tinkered with, but I haven't seen anything about this with the newer hinge-style trackpads.
Anyone done this or know of anyone having done this?
