REAL Thinkpad users will only ever use the little red stick and disable the trackpad (just joking). But itβs worth a try, takes a couple days to get used to first.

Real Thinkpad user here, yep using that little red stick since 2006, when I got my first one.
Really feels a bit weird on other laptops, although on those that have two finger gestures it is bearable, or I just end up plugging an external mouse.
Thinkpad user here, on Linux, with disabled trackpad. Vim and i3 make it almost useless
Positive side-effect of a disabled trackpad, everyone trying to show you something on your Thinkpad by taking command will quickly stop it once they have no control over the mouse.
They'd also probably stop when they saw you were running i3 and couldn't figure out how to pull up a web browser.
Not joking; I'd like to have a button/key to disable the touchpad that some gaming laptops have.
you mean the nipple?
