- Touchpad Pointing Device/Scroll Wheel
To the right of the touchpad is a circular dimple, approximately an inch in diameter. This is known as the
“scroll wheel” and is used for scrolling up and down pages and zooming in and out on photos. Note that
the scroll wheel does not actually move; moving your finger on the “wheel” causes the scrolling action.
