Using the ThinkPad pointing device
The ThinkPad pointing device consists of a pointing stick 1 on the keyboard and the trackpad 2 . The
whole trackpad is an active area sensitive to finger movement. The left click zones 3 and right click zones
5 work as the left and right mouse buttons on a conventional mouse. The scroll zone 4 enables you to
scroll Web pages or documents in any direction.
Using the TrackPoint pointing stick
To use the TrackPoint pointing stick, apply pressure to the nonslip cap on the pointing stick in any direction
parallel to the keyboard. Then you can move the pointer. But the pointing stick itself does not move. The
speed at which the pointer moves depends on the pressure you apply to the pointing stick.
Using the multi-touch trackpad
The ThinkPad trackpad of your computer supports multi-touch with which you can zoom in, zoom out, or
scroll on the screen while browsing the Internet or reading or editing a document.
For more information on how to use the trackpad, see the help information system of the trackpad.
