In my experience, everything else on thinkpads can and will be abused by my users but the trackpoint is one thing I've never had to replace. Most of my new hires don't even know what it does.

I always preferred the nipple mouse as i called it. I see you have named it something else.

On older models, sometimes the nipple is hard due to the age. It generally still functions, but a replacement just feels better to use
