nipple is what it's called.
My primary machine machine has been an IBM Thinkpad the last 3 years, and before that I had a nasty dell one. The nipple, and it's tight integration with the keyboard, is one of the best features in the Thinkpad.
Yes, it drifts occasionally, but it is not a big deal. Once you get hooked on the nipple there is no turning back. How people can even work with trackpads is beyond me - it is unusable compared to the nipple.
