Pointing devices and keyboard

Using pointing devices

NOTE: In addition to the pointing devices included with your computer, you can use an external
USB mouse (purchased separately) by connecting it to one of the USB ports on the computer.

Setting pointing device preferences

Use Mouse Properties in Windows® to customize pointing device settings, button configuration, click
speed, and pointer options.
To access Mouse Properties, select Start > Devices and Printers. Then right-click the listing that
represents your computer, and select Mouse settings.

Using the TouchPad

NOTE: The TouchPad on your computer may look slightly different from the illustrations in this
section. Refer to
TouchPad on your computer.
To move the pointer, slide one finger across the TouchPad in the direction you want the pointer to go.
Use the left and right TouchPad buttons as you would use the buttons on an external mouse. To
scroll up and down using the TouchPad vertical scroll zone, slide your finger up or down over the
scroll zone.
NOTE: If you are using the TouchPad to move the pointer, you must lift your finger off the
TouchPad before moving it to the scroll zone. Sliding your finger from the TouchPad to the scroll zone
does not activate the scrolling function.
