Accessories - Mouse or Trackball

You can use an external USB mouse or trackball in the same way as the built
in trackball. Connect it to the USB port.
Cobalt is designed to be used without a mouse as button pressing is faster and does not force you to
look at the screen cursor. However, there are a lot of useful mouse functions for situations where you
find it practical. For example, working in a workstation without a console facepanel, or while using an
offline editor.
Here is some of the mouse functionality:
