Will you be able to put a ThinkPad TrackPoint on the nubs?

Amazingly, yes. The whole thing disassembles by unscrewing, and as the nubs are separate components you could replace them with whatever you wanted. Given that both TrackPoints and the nubs use a square peg, it might even just fit without an adapter.

However it still wouldn't work the same - a TrackPoint responds to force, while the nubs actually move.
