The best I can do, is to steer it slowly. For me, it’s always been the inferior option when compared to a regular touchpad.

Although, I do se the benefit of the central positioning when you need to type more and you don’t want to move your fingers from the home row just to click something quickly.

Maybe the IBM touch points were better. I could see the Lenovo ones being mostly for show / plausible deniability.
