Primary and secondary control buttons

When you want to click or choose an item, use the TouchPad to move the pointer/cursor to the item. Once the pointer/ cursor is positioned, you can click it into place by either double-tapping the TouchPad or clicking the control buttons.

The control buttons are adjacent to the TouchPad and are used like the buttons on a mouse. The primary control button is the left one and corresponds to the left mouse button. To double- click, press the primary button twice in rapid succession.

The function of the secondary button depends on the program you are using. It usually corresponds to the right mouse button. Check your program’s documentation to find whether it uses the secondary mouse button.
