Trackpad engages when I'm typing and moves my cursor

Hello. I'm using a new 16" MacBook Pro, running 15.3.2. When I'm typing my wrists or hands naturally touch the track pad causing the cursor to jump randomly, typing in the middle of a different sentence.


Its causing more and more issues and I've never experienced it before with any of my laptops (been using macbooks for as long as they have existed).


Anyone having similar issues, any solutions out there?

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 15.3

Many have stated the same as you. That is what I originally thought with my last new purchase.
