Tap-to-click issue on MacOS 12.0.1

So I've been having this very annoying issue in Monterey that happens randomly when I tap to click. Sometimes the occurrence is not registered and the click is 'wasted', like clicking in vain. This is so frustrating and happens so often that I'm really considering going back to BigSur because of it (even though I'm loving Monterey so far, except for this bug). I saw a few people mentioning they're having this issue but not as many people as I thought there would be. I have this happening with my M1 MBA.

Is anybody else experiencing this with their MacBooks or magic trackpads?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.0

I resolved my issue on my M1 MB Air by selecting "Light" in the Trackpad "Point & Click" section.

It was driving me up the wall, I upgraded my work MB Air first, dealt with this issue and then upgraded my home MB Air M1, thinking I'd just deal with it until Apple figured it out.

Turns out it was just the setting in the aforementioned preference.

Hi,

I'm having the same problem, it's very annoying, I was about to take the machine to a service, but then I realized that I've been experiencing the problem since the update..

Done, using the Developer Feedback Assistant. I included an example of 5% loss using the table cell selection test method.

🤞 for a prompt fix for this. It's getting really old. 😟

This really wired. As you requested I dropped a reporting too. Then I saw the same results, "Resent similar results: None".

Thanks to everyone that posted about this. I just bought a M1 MBA. I will stay on Big Sur until this is resolved.

I have checked software update but don't see the version 12.1 released even turned on "automatically keep my Mac up to date", just 12.0.1 as before. How did you upgrade to 12.1? Thank you.
