    Does anybody know of a place that sells Soft Rim trackpoint caps (not the pack with all three styles) other than Trackcap? I do not want to sign up for google checkout or paypal just to order these.

    Lenovo sells them on their website for $10, which isn't a great price really.

    I'd buy them off eBay of something. Cheaper.

    You could probably convince ibm to send you some on the house. If not, you can buy em off ebay and pay via money order.

    Those are probably worn out and dirty.

    i doubt it would be worn out(none of the ones from my OD were) ... and just soak it in a light alcohol solution to remove any dirt
