TrackPoint
The keyboard contains a unique cursor-pointing device called the
TrackPoint
. Pointing, selecting, and dragging all become part of a
single process you can perform without moving your fingers from
their typing position.
The TrackPoint consists of a
stick
on the keyboard and three
click
buttons
below the keyboard. Movement of the pointer on the screen
is controlled by the amount of pressure you apply to the nonslip cap
on the stick in any direction parallel to the keyboard; the stick itself
does not move. The speed at which the pointer moves corresponds
to the pressure you apply to the stick. The function of the click
buttons depends on the software you are using.
