mouse ball does, and moves the cursor around the
display. It only requires light pressure with the tip of
your finger, and the more pressure you use, the faster the
cursor will move. The left button functions the same as a
left mouse button while the right button has the same
function as a right mouse button. When used with the
cursor control, the middle button allows you to scroll up
and down a screen. The actual functionality of the
buttons may vary depending on the application that is
being used. (Figure 2-19)
