Using the TouchPad Instead of a Mouse

Just like the mouse, the TouchPad lets you draw lines or point to items on the Windows desktop. Try dragging the pointer across the screen by gently dragging your finger across the TouchPad.

Left-Click

To left-click, press the Left TouchPad button. It is located directly below the TouchPad. The Left TouchPad button works as the select or drag button. To double-click an item, move the pointer over the item and press the Left TouchPad button twice in rapid succession.
