Operating the TrackPoint III Pointing Device
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
TrackPoint III. Pointing, selecting, and dragging all become part of
a single process, so you need not move your fingers from their
normal typing position.
The TrackPoint III consists of a stick
on the keyboard and a pair
of click buttons
in front of the keyboard. The motion of the
cursor is controlled by pressure applied to the stick in any direction
within the plane of the keyboard; the stick does not move. The
speed at which the cursor moves corresponds to the amount of
pressure on the stick. The click buttons are similar in function to
those on other pointing devices; what they do depends on the
software that is used.
