I don't think that xwhatsit will mind me posting this. If so, I'll remove it. I found a PDF file that contains extensive information on his controller, in his original post on the xwhatsit controller:
http://downloads.cornall.co/ibm-capsense-usb/installation_model_f.pdfSection 5.2 links to an index of where all of the relevant files are stored, including this PDF file, and the original firmware files. Section 6.1 deals with adjusting the current threshold, which may itself resolve your problem. Section 10 deals with firmware updates.
The files in the debounce_threshold_6 and debounce_threshold_11 folders in the post that you mentioned are slightly larger in size than the originals in the aforementioned index. My guess is that those are both variations of the complete modified firmware, and the patch file is for similarly patching the more exotic versions of the firmware, like for Beamsprings. You could try to find/use some software for comparing two hex files though.
Ellipse, Xwhatsit, joc, or darkcruix would probably all know for sure. I have never owned an xwhatsit controller (yet) My Model Fs have all just been connected to a Soarer's converter, so I can't play around with any of this myself.
