Integrated Trackball
Integrated Trackball
The integrated trackball eliminates the need to carry a mouse when
traveling.
The trackball n is designed to be used with either hand for cursor
movement and button selection. The top button o functions as a left
mouse button, and the bottom button p functions as a right mouse
button. The ball q controls the pointer when rolled with your thumb.
Button functions and other trackball features can be customized
using the mouse utility located on the Control Panel. To access the
mouse utility, click Start, click Settings, click Control Panel, then
double-click the Mouse/Trackball icon. Refer to the online Compaq
Reference Guide
NOTE:
For information about cleaning the trackball, refer to
for more information.
