Pointing Devices and Keyboard

Pointing Devices

Pointing Devices on TouchPad Models Only

To move the cursor, sometimes called the pointer, slide your finger across the TouchPad surface 1 in the direction you want to move the cursor. If the cursor continues to move after you release the TouchPad, wait a few seconds and the cursor will stop moving.

Use the left 2 and right 3 TouchPad buttons as you would the left and right buttons on an external mouse.

Use the arrows on the scroll button 4 as you would the arrows on the scroll bars on the edges of windows. The scroll button moves the viewing area up, down, right, and left in Internet browser windows as well as most application windows.

Pointing Devices on Dual Device Models Only

The notebook is set at the factory to enable you to use the pointing stick and TouchPad components interchangeably. For information about disabling some or all dual device components, refer to “Enabling or Disabling Dual Device Components,” next in this section.

Using the Pointing Stick Components

To move the cursor, sometimes called the pointer, press the pointing stick 1 in the direction you want to move the cursor. To increase or decrease cursor speed, increase or decrease the directional (not downward) pressure on the pointing stick. If the cursor continues to move after you release the pointing stick, wait a few seconds and the cursor will stop moving.

Use the right 2 and left 3 pointing-stick buttons as you would the right and left buttons on an external mouse.

Using the TouchPad Components

To move the cursor, slide your finger across the TouchPad surface 4 in the direction you want to move the cursor.

Use the left 5 and right 6 TouchPad buttons as you would the left and right buttons on an external mouse.
