Hola! I have problems with the Qlinks, when I touch them they move constantly even though I am not making any movement (as I show in the video). When the MPC was new it didn't do it, it started a while ago, it was already out of warranty, but I didn't follow up on it because I was using a Force. I have the latest update on the MPC and it has been behaving like this for many updates. Does this happen to anyone else? Do you know what the problem could be?

This happens with the 4 qlinks on any screen and on any element they control

Thanks!

I had/have the same issue on my Live 2. And sorted it out quit easily, at least for me.
The capacity sensitive Q-Link are extremely sensitive to what I could call "gost electricity". I leave in Vietnam where you never have a proper ground connection in all the houses. And more the not having ground, the neural is not properly grounded and behave like a kink of a second phase.
For now every time I use my MPC in Hà Nội (the same for my PUSH2) I simply put all my setup, including me, on an isolated carpet. And it works like a charm. But as soon as as touch directly the soil, Q-Links (and PUSH2) starts to some on their own.
Did you notice a correlation with what you observed and you location (or power supply)?
