    Hi, I just received my T420 but I realized the trackpoint operating position is not comfortable. I think the main problem is the left click and right click buttons. Compare to T61, I feel like I have to exert more force to press down the button. The buttons are not protruding enough and sometimes my thumb gets blocked by the palmrest.


    The distance between the trackpoint to the left button is also greater. I have to stretch my thumb a little to reach down whereas my thumb is relaxed on the T61 layout.
