Try disabling the trackpad and then just use the trackpoint.
- snazz 7y agoI do this, but I can see how many people would have a hard time giving up the touchpad. The gestures are nice and I do have more control on a good touchpad. However, for my use case not having to move off home row beats touchpad gestures.
- hdkwowjdj 7y agoThen you still don't have a good trackpad. Besides, the trackpoint is drifting across all models. I like to use it, but it's beyond my imagination why people think this is the best a manufacturer could do.
- ahnick 7y agoI have this exact model and have attempted to use trackpoint under Ubuntu and it is just slow and I'm constantly overshooting my target. I'm so much better with the trackpad that I really wonder how people that use trackpoint swear by it. I must be missing something.
- michalf6 7y agoIncrease the sensitivity to max and try to guide it using just light touches. It's supposed to be relaxing on the fingers, if there's any finger strain, your sensitivity is too low.
- ahnick 7y agoOkay, increasing the sensitivity definitely helped with the slowness, but I'm still overshooting a lot. Maybe one day I'll get there. :)
- abhijat 7y agoI've been using the trackpoint for so long that the trackpad seems hard to use to me. I always disable the trackpad but I fear someday thinkpads might drop the trackpoint altogether as I don't see many people using them.
