I use a Thinkpad T490s and it works great with Ubuntu out of the box. Only thing that doesn't work is clicking the touchpad for right click, but since the Thinkpad comes with physical left and right buttons that was a non-issue.

On my T480 I can use two fingers to trigger a right-click. The only issue I ran into with the mouse was where both right-click and two finger scrolling don't work after I have resume the laptop from sleep. To workaround this issue I just reload the mouse driver. It doesn't really bother my workflow much, but if it does then I'll run this rmouse command in the terminal. (I probably should script this to run on resume automatically, but I'm lazy :-) )

alias rmouse="sudo modprobe -r psmouse && sudo modprobe psmouse"

Wow, this is something that's been bugging me constantly. Thanks for the tip.
