The Trackpoint is in the correct place for the correct finger I use to point. I live in the Linux/BSD World and don't expect good enough support for sensitivity/speed control configuration software from Lenovo at all. And when third parties publish solutions they work briefly and I lose track of them through upgrade cycles. I want a better World with better evolved Trackpoint. The Trackpad takes my fingers off the home row and the context switch in moving my eyes to the keyboard really breaks "flow" of concentration.
That is just wrong. You only say that you don't like the default sensitivity/speed. Increase it a bit and you get the complete opposite.
