The TrackPoint consists of a stick on the keyboard and two click
buttons below the keyboard. Movement of the pointer on the screen
is controlled by the amount of pressure you apply to the nonslip cap

does not move. The speed at which the pointer moves corresponds
to the pressure you apply to the stick. The function of the click
