Nah. Died when Lenovo bought it from IBM. Died again when IBM stopped offering support for them.
It's super handy on my X1c 6thgen when my trackpad randomly freezes about once a month and I need to shut everything down and reboot. Bah.
Open to tips for fixing the trackpad if anyone has that on their radar!
Now it looks like...every other generic laptop.
I'm not a huge fan of the nub, I personally have always found it in the middle of the way. I do understand it's use, though.
I use the "control nipple" occasionally, but I use the physical mouse buttons every day always.
Even though they're slightly oddly positioned to use with the touchpad, they're a million times better than not having any buttons at all.

Never used trackpoints.
And all my laptops are ThinkPads.
I Always disable both trackpoint and touchpad.
