Pointing Device; Using The Touchpad - Asus W3A Hardware User Manual

Pointing Device

The Notebook PC's integrated touchpad pointing device is fully compatible with all two/three-button and scroll-
ing knob PS/2 mice. The touchpad is pressure sensitive and contains no moving parts; therefore, mechanical
failures can be avoided. A device driver is still required for working with some application software.
IMPORTANT! Do not use any objects in place of your finger to operate the touchpad
or else damage may occur to the touchpad's surface.

Using the Touchpad

Light pressure with the tip of your finger is all that is required to operate the touchpad. Because the touchpad
is electrostatic sensitive, objects cannot be used in place of your fingers. The touchpad's primary function
is to move the cursor around or select items displayed on the screen with the use of your fingertip instead
of a standard desktop mouse. The following illustrations demonstrate proper use of the touchpad.
Moving The Cursor
Place your finger in the center of the touchpad and slide in a direction to move the cursor.
Scrolling (on selected models)
Slide your finger up or down on the right side to scroll a window up or down.
