My assumption was that it was over-stimulation of the tip of my finger, or maybe some kind of muscle strain from using the trackpoint so much. I'd avoid it for a day or so and the feeling would go away. Also, switching to the rim style trackpoint worked out better. That way I was more pressing down on a corner rather than pressing and dragging a bumpy surface.

Even though the domes are nice when new, the dish actually stays usable longer than the others after their texture's worn off. But every time I've bought them in the past, it's been three packs of one each- soft rim, hard & soft dome. Either way this is an incredible price.

B.T.W. anything experience anything similiar to this? I'm actually trying to use the trackpoint as little as possible lately. Because despite being the most precise control of any pointing device, after years of of using them exclusively (every computer at work & personal), I think something neural is happening from the tip of my finger into the back of my shoulder from it. So I'm trying to refrain as much as possible now, toting a mouse with my notebook etc. But some situations there is just no comparison. Not only precision, but when you're typing & jumping from field to field, no moving your hands out of position over to a mouse or down to a touchpad etc. It's right there like another key. But actually I think the strain happened when I got addicted to online billiards & overdid it. Trackpoint was a huge advantage in that game. So between now conservative use & how much I just stocked up, I should be set for life on these.

Thanks O.P.


I think so. That static pressure without motion, or much motion anyway is a strain. I don't think that's good over & over. compared to a mouse or touchpad, whic are also repetitive, but at least some movement involved. Moving your whole hand or at least finger. Unfortunately I'm addicted to the trackpoint, it's so much more precise than anything else. So when it got real bad I actually disabled it otherwise I wouldn't have been able to quit, but in certain situations it's just so much faster I'll turn it back on.

Well, what did you expect from excessive use of trackpoint?
Do yourself a favor just buy and use wireless mouse.


I very seldom use trackpoint or touchpad. They are not comfortable.
Your productivity will be higher if you use mouse.

I always had mice, either with retractable cord or wireless, to use with my laptops.

Nothing beats the mouse. LOL

Right now, when I work on laptop I use Kensington SlimBlade mouse. Great mouse, but not impressed with its scroll ball.
Can't beat its claimed 6-month battery life though.


You're right D.D.D. I sure got what I deserved in that regard, so now I use my mouse as much as possible (not a fan of touch-pads either). Thanks for the advice.

I just tried a friend's cap from a T61 on my E6500, and it does not fit...

Meritline is a good company with which to do business. I had a problem with a crappy product which broke (not Meritline's fault). They took back the product and issued a credit. I cannot fault them. Great prices . . . sometimes.

I like the "cat tongue" pointers better, a more scratchier surface to roll over better.

Got 5 packs of 4! 20 nipples will last me a while. I was beginning to wonder where I would get these for cheap since my current one is wearing out.
