Wireless TrackPoint Keyboard II - Middle click event on press instead of release

Recently swapped out my Trackpoint USB keyboard (KU-1255) for a fancy wireless TrackPoint Keyboard II (KC-1957), but am having a really difficult issue with the middle mouse button.

On the older USB keyboard (and the internal keyboard on the T14, and every other thinkpad I've ever used) the middle button sends a click on release instead of press, allowing the middle button + trackpoint to scroll without triggering an unwanted button press:

1. Press middle button -- No click event 2. Release middle button -- Click Event (paste under cursor)

vs with scrolling:

1. Press middle button -- No click event 2. Move trackpoint to scroll 3. Release middle button -- No click event (because you scrolled instead)

However, this wireless keyboard sends a click on button press (instead of release), so whenever I want to scroll around I'm inadvertently pasting snippits all over my source code and documents.

1. Press middle button -- **Click event (paste under cursor)** 2. Move trackpoint to scroll -- scrolls document 3. Release middle button -- No (additional) click event.

Currently using Fedora 34, GNOME + Wayland, although I also tested in Xorg with no change in behaviour.

Anybody found a solution? Some device quirk I can shove into libinput?
