Using the USB keyboard

This chapter provides information about using the USB keyboard.

Using the TrackPoint

The TrackPoint consists of a pointing stick and three click buttons. The pointing stick is used to control the cursor. The three click buttons are the left button, the right button, and the middle button.

To use the pointing stick, do the following:

1. Place your hands at typing position, and press gently on the pointing stick in the direction that you want the cursor to move. You can press the pointing stick away from you to move the cursor up, toward you to move the cursor down, to one side or the other to move the cursor sideways. The speed at which the cursor moves depends on the pressure you apply to the pointing stick.

Note: The cursor might periodically drift. Stop using the pointing stick for a few seconds and try again. The cursor will work normally.

2. To select an item, stop the pointing stick when the cursor locates the item and press the left or right button with your thumb. The left and right buttons function the same as the left and right buttons on a conventional mouse.
