Pointing, selecting, and dragging all become part of a single process you can perform without moving your fingers from their typing position. Note: No other software is required for the TrackPoint III; it works with the PS/2 mouse driver. The TrackPoint III consists of a stick on the keyboard and a pair of click buttons in front of 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 amount of pressure you apply to the stick. The function of the click buttons corresponds to the left and right mouse buttons on a traditional mouse, and depends on the software you are using. 10 IBM ThinkPad 380XD/385XD User's Guide
