I'm on a P14s Gen3 AMD using Windows 10.

My question is: Is there a way in Windows to tweak the Trackpoint "neutral position" timer?

I frequently to use the TrackPoint to slowly scroll and sometimes move the mouse slowly. Sometimes the mouse pointer just works well as a reading aid.

The problem seems to be that the Trackpoint keeps "re-setting" its centre position every 2 seconds.

So, If I move it slowly on screen it will often just stop, so I have to start pressing harder to keep going at the same slow speed. If I then let go of the trackpoint it will then shoot into the opposite direction.

See the Video here where I move right until it forcefully stops. When I let go it goes left: https://streamable.com/2nbcy0

I've already played with the mouse speed setting, but it doesn't change the behaviour.
