TIPS AND TECHNIQUES
(Continued)
DEVELOPING YOUR SKILLS - As with any new device, your operating
skills will improve with practice. As you begin learning how to use the
TetraMouse don’t be discouraged if it feels like you are not making much
progress. Remember that any type of mouse takes some time to learn,
even for people without disabilities. Practice will improve your skills
dramatically. You will learn how much movement, and in what direction, it
takes to achieve the desired results. Mouse operations, especially those
that require moving first in one direction, then another, need a little more
attention than operations requiring just a simple, single direction
movement. With practice you can refine these moves and increase your
efficiency and proficiency.
WEB BROWSING - Practically all web browsers, such as Internet
Explorer, Firefox and others, recognize mouse buttons 4 and 5 as
shortcuts for the “Back” and “Forward” browser functions. Consider not
remapping these buttons if you plan to browse the internet often.
Scrolling up and down on web pages is a good feature to have. The
“third” or “middle” button (push down on the left joystick) will change the
mouse pointer to a scroll cursor in most browsers and many other
windows when scroll bars are present on the sides of those windows.
With the scroll cursor activated, you can scroll by moving the mouse
(pushing the right joystick) in the direction you wish to scroll. Exit this
mode by pushing the left joystick down again, restoring the normal
mouse pointer.
By utilizing the third or middle button technique for scrolling, the scroll up
and scroll down functions on the TetraMouse are free to be remapped to
perform other functions.
