How to disable Trackpoint on KDE in Thinkpad X250?

Hello all.

I want to permanently disable the TrackPoint (the red nub) on my ThinkPad X250 running Fedora KDE Spin, but I am not sure how to achieve this. I have looked online for solutions and saw something about using libinput for this, but I am not familiar with it, and I could not find help for my specific issue.

I did find one piece of information about it that did work, but it also disabled the dedicated TrackPoint buttons (the left, middle, and right-click buttons above the touchpad), which I use regularly. Is there any way I can accomplish this without disabling the TrackPoint buttons above the touchpad?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

libinput list-devices | grep -i "TrackPoint"

Is the device listed? What is it called?

Create and override file and paste the following, but adjust the name accordingly.

sudo nano /etc/libinput/local-overrides.quirks

[Trackpoint Override]
MatchName=TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint
AttrTrackpointMultiplier=0.0

I tried this and rebooted, but I can still use the TrackPoint.
