4 Navigating using the keyboard, touch
gestures and pointing devices
Your computer allows navigation using touch gestures (select models only) in addition to the
keyboard and mouse. Touch gestures can be used on your computer TouchPad or on a touch screen
(select models only).
Select computer models have special action key or hot key functions on the keyboard to perform
routine tasks.

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 settings for pointing devices, such as button
configuration, click speed, and pointer options. You can also view demonstrations of TouchPad
gestures.
To access Mouse Properties:
Select Start > Devices and Printers. Then right-click the device representing your computer, and
●
select Mouse settings.

Using the TouchPad and gestures

The TouchPad allows you to navigate the computer screen and control the pointer by using simple
finger movements.
TIP: Use the left and right buttons on the TouchPad as you would use the corresponding buttons on
an external mouse.
NOTE: TouchPad gestures are not supported in all apps.
