Right-Click

The right TouchPad button works as the context menu or special drag button. Press the Right TouchPad button to get context-sensitive options.

Scroll Button

The Scroll button is the equivalent of the up and down buttons of the scroll bars on the side of your screen. To view other areas of a document or browser window, press the Scroll button in the desired direction.
