Using the TrackPoint III
Operating with the TrackPoint III
Note:
No other software is required for the
TrackPoint III;
it works with the PS/2
mouse driver.
The keyboard contains a unique cursor-pointing device called the
TrackPoint III
.
Pointing, selecting, and dragging all become part of a
single process you can perform without moving your fingers from
their typing position.
The TrackPoint III consists of a stick
1
on the keyboard and a pair
of click buttons
2
below the keyboard.
The motion of the pointer
on the screen is controlled by the amount of pressure applied to the
nonslip cap on the stick in any direction parallel to the keyboard; the
stick does
not
move.
The speed at which the pointer moves
corresponds to the amount of pressure on the stick.
The function of
the click buttons depends on the software that is used.
Note:
The cap
1
on the end of the
TrackPoint III is removable.
You can
pull the cap off the stick, and replace
it with one of the spares shipped with
your computer.
If you are not familiar with using the TrackPoint III, these instructions
will help you get started:
