Under Linux, the track point driver has many setable parameters, including
that. Maybe there's a control panel for Windows that does the same? I've
turned the sensitivity way up on mine because I have stretchy/ weak tendons
and my fingers bend sideways easily. This way, the trackpoint takes little
more force than a touch pad.

Honestly, I find the stock setting best, unless yours is different. Negative
Inertia is why all the Dell and HP machines with pointing sticks feel so
unresponsive to me.
