Pointing devices and keyboard

Using pointing devices

NOTE:

In addition to the pointing devices included with your computer, you can use an external

USB mouse (purchased separately) by connecting it to one of the USB ports on the computer.

Setting pointing device preferences

Use Mouse Properties in Windows to customize settings for pointing devices, such as button
configuration, click speed, and pointer options.

To access Mouse Properties:

●

From the Start screen, type m. In the search box, type mouse, click Settings, and then select
Mouse.

Using the pointing stick

Press the pointing stick in the direction you want to move the pointer on the screen. Use the left and
right pointing stick buttons as you would the left and right buttons on an external mouse.

Using the TouchPad

To move the pointer, slide one finger across the TouchPad in the direction you want the pointer to go.
Use the left and right TouchPad buttons like the buttons on an external mouse.

Turning the TouchPad off and on

To turn the TouchPad off and on, quickly double-tap the TouchPad on/off button.

Using TouchPad Gestures

Your TouchPad or touch screen (select models only), allows you to navigate the pointing device on
the screen by using your fingers to control the pointer action.

TIP:

For touch screen computers, you may perform the gestures on the display, on the TouchPad or

a combination of the two.
