Using the optical mouse
Your computer is delivered with a VAIO PS/2 optical mouse, which uses a light-emitting diode (LED) instead
of a ball. Avoid using the mouse on a piece of glass or other transparent material, as this can interfere with
smooth cursor movement on the screen.
You can adjust the mouse pointer speed and other functions under
Mouse Properties
. To display
