Used a trackpoint for a long time. Big glass touchpad is way more efficient. You move your fingers more, but because you have more control over the larger range of movement than you do over the smaller range of movement, you can jack up the tracking speed a lot higher.
I just increased the sensitivity of the TrackPoint. When I use a MacBook (supposedly the pinnacle of trackpad technology), I feel like the cursor is moving in slow motion.
That's what I thought. Though the TrackPoint on my T410 has worn out after a couple of years and is almost unusable now. Ought to get a replacement for itβ¦
That said, you should try to use the TrackPoint, since it's a much more efficient pointing device once you get used to it.
