Do you mean the event device? I created this udev rule (however, not
for a ThinkPad, but for another USB input device):

------------------------------------------------------------------
SUBSYSTEM!="input",                     GOTO="input-by-id2-end"
ACTION!="add",                          GOTO="input-by-id2-end"
# ignore the mid-level drivers
KERNEL=="input[0-9]*",                  GOTO="input-by-id2-end"

KERNEL=="event*", \
        SYMLINK+="input/by-id2/$SYSFS{idVendor}-$SYSFS{idProduct}"
LABEL="input-by-id2-end"
------------------------------------------------------------------

With this, you should have unique event devices in /dev/input/by-id2/.
