I did, and I didn't like it much (not to mention it didn't close right). I instead got this.
I tried the PSP cap on my N3DSXL, and I found it to be too sensitive on account of the plastic being much more rigid than the rubber, and transferring more of the shear force to the pressure sensor underneath.
These little ThinkPad Trackpoint caps are a perfect replacement, since they offer more grip, without really altering the sensitivity:

I disagree and think you need "ThinkPad Super Low Profile TrackPoint Cap Set (4XH0L55146)" instead for T470. Same for X1Y2/X1Y3.

@ibmthink
Only T470s should be Super Low Profile? T470/p an T25 should be Low Profile? What a mess...
I just bought these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072PQ7NT3/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
And they make the trackpoint as fast as the old ones. They are likely slightly different than the OEM ones but I don't notice much at a glance. I actually turned down my pointer sensitivity for the first time since I bought it. Thought I'd let ya know.
edit: its noticeably taller when installed on the trackpoint, but not too tall, it's perfect and solves the problem completely after using for an hour.
The PSP nub works well enough, but I always found it felt like it was lose and would reposition over time as the square hole is larger on the PSP nub than the 3ds one. I ended up replacing the PSP nub with a thinkpad nub that fits perfectly.
