ThinkPad Genuine Trackpoints

#1 Post by ThinkPad560X » Mon Apr 10, 2017 3:06 am

Does anyone know where to buy the Classic dome trackpoint and the softtop Genuine? I can't find any Classic on ebay nor does Lenovo sell them on their site. I can find lots of soft dome but ebay looks to have lots of fake reprints of them.

Would like at least 15 each of the 2 styles.

I bought these supposedly genuine Soft Domes from a Chinese seller.
www.ebay.com/itm/260980589496

The price is inflated over obvious non-genuine listings. They arrived in a "Made in Japan" bag and seem legit to me, they have a smell that gets on your finger when using them, which wears off after awhile.

I messaged the seller to see if they have the classic dome. Their is some sellers with classic dome but they are selling the X1 for $2.50 - $3.00 just for one cap. I'd like a lot of 10 or so. My older ThinkPads that use / came with classic dome and turning dirty or old.

I went to Amazon.com and found some of the classic dome. https://www.amazon.com/pieces-Original- ... ic+dome%22

I ordered X2 of the classic and soft top, so I got enough for all my ThinkPads.
