Using the mouse controls
The FlipStart provides several keyboard-based methods for controlling the mouse pointer on
the screen, combining use of the following input devices to perform tasks normally done with a
mouse on a desktop computer.
Note: You can also add an external USB or Bluetooth mouse. See Expanding your FlipStart (on
page 35).
Mouse buttons
The FlipStart keyboard contains special keys for left mouse button and right mouse button.
Pressing the left or right mouse button will function like a left-click or right-click on a mouse.
Mouse touchpad
The touchpad enables you to control the mouse pointer on the screen with the tip of your
finger. Put the tip of your finger on the touchpad and lightly move it in the direction you want
to move the mouse pointer on the screen. Click or double-click by tapping or double-tapping
on the touchpad.
Mouse touchstick
The small touchstick controls the mouse on the screen. Using the tip of your finger or thumb,
gently move the rubber touchstick in the direction you want the mouse pointer to move.
Direction pad (D-pad)
The D-pad duplicates the functions of the up and down arrow keys on a full-sized keyboard.
Use the D-pad to move the cursor or selection horizontally or vertically on the screen, or, in
combination with pressing an Fn-key, to page up or page down.
