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.

Note: To prevent accidentally selecting an item, the TouchPad has been lowered.

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.

Right-Click

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

4-Way Internet Scroll

The 4-Way Internet Scroll pad is the equivalent of the up, down, left, and right buttons of the scroll bar on the side and bottom of your screen. To view other areas of a document or browser window, press the pad buttons in the desired direction.
