I suspect that the mechanical engineers working at both Dell and Lenovo had good reasons to use the material they used. That is tempting from a geeky standpoint, but I'm not so sure UV-baked acrylic has the same feel on the finger as the material used in the original nubs. Then you can mould yourself nubs with proper size and good precision all day.

Jam some Sugru into the hole on the larger Lenovo trackpoint, squish it down onto the Dell post, let it set, pull it off, carve off the excess.The problem is using the existing keyboard as a mold, and I would have to have a method to avoid it from permanently sticking to the keyboard (oil?). Form the entire trackpoint out of something like Sugru.It would require some gluing and I don't know what would be the correct glue to use with Sugru w.r.t. Form the muffin top to the Dell trackpoint using something like Sugru.But to do so I would need to identify the right types of glue to glue rubber to rubber (rubber cement?). Then, carve off the "muffin top" (so to speak) from the Lenovo trackpoint and somehow glue it to the top of the new Dell trackpoint. Purchase a Lenovo trackpoint and a Dell trackpoint.in-the-mid), searching on the web for what I want is rather daunting (I lack the Google Fu). But since there is no standard naming convention for these things (reference. Find a vendor that sells the "muffin top" style of pointing stick but that fits the post on the Dell.The sizes of the posts that the two trackpoints fit onto are of different size, so I cannot simply replace Dell trackpoint with the one from the Lenovo. So I find myself in last place with this Dell (reference. The Dell's trackpoint is depressed to be slightly level with the keyboard. The thing I like about the Lenovo T60 laptop's trackpoint, is that it is raised slightly above the caps: I do not want to replace the entire Dell laptop with a Lenovo laptop (actually if I do that, I'd first like to go Office Space on it with a baseball bat, then go Amazon shopping for a Lenovo). I like the Lenovo T60 trackpoint keyboard, but am stuck with a Dell Latitude E6410 trackpoint keyboard.
