I used to love these, but with my last 2 X1 Carbons from Lenovo, I could not get the mouse to move fast enough in Ubuntu, even with all settings maxed out. I've since moved back to using trackpads.

Newer ones use shorter stick portion and reportedly they are heavier that’s true

Just tried that, still not fast enough :(. I distinctly remember it being much faster on my t430s way back when.
