Using The Touchpad; Using An External Mouse; Setting Touchpad Preferences - HP Pavilion DV5000 User Manual

Using the TouchPad

To move the pointer, slide your finger across the TouchPad surface in the direction you want the
pointer to go. Use the left and right TouchPad buttons as you would the left and right buttons on an
external mouse. To scroll up and down using the TouchPad vertical scroll area, slide your finger up
or down over the white lines.

Using an external mouse

An external USB mouse can be connected to the computer using one of the USB ports on the
computer. A USB mouse can also be connected to the system using the connectors on an optional
expansion product.

Setting TouchPad preferences

Mouse Properties in Microsoft® Windows® allows you to customize settings for pointing devices,
including
●
TouchPad tapping, which enables you to tap the TouchPad once to select an object or twice to
double-click an object (enabled by default).
●
Edge motion, which enables you to continue to scroll even though your finger has reached the
edge of the TouchPad (disabled by default).
●
Button preference, which allows you to switch between left-hand and right-hand use (right-hand
preference is enabled by default).
Other features, such as mouse speed preferences and mouse trails, are also found in Mouse
Properties.
To access Mouse Properties, select Start > Control Panel > Printers and Other Hardware > Mouse.
