I just received my x61t yesterday, and as it's my first Thinkpad I'm not used to the Trackpoint yet. However, I first found the Trackpoint to be extremely irritating because it was much more sensitive moving up and sideways than it was moving down. I found out that the original nib was actually too large, and it was hitting the 'B' key. Using the smallest nib solved this problem.
But...
Were I to use the larger sized nibs, is there any way to calibrate the sensitivity for different directions? Like, I want it to be more sensitive moving down than moving up, left, or right. Is this possible?

Right Click on your Desktop > Personalization > Mouse Pointers > UltraNav > Trackpoint > Settings > Trackpoint stick (adjust sensitivity according to your requirement).
But AFAIK it`s not possible to control the sensitivity more variable in one and less in the other direction.

Thanks for the replies.
I tried messing around with the sensitivity, but since it is only for general sensitivity it does not do what i need. I wonder how hard it would be to write a custom driver for it...
I did not notice any significant difference after turning off "Enhance Pointer Precision"
Well, at least the small nib seems to work fine.
