Using the TrackPoint III
Operating with the TrackPoint III
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 the
TrackPoint III. Pointing, selecting, and dragging all become part of a
single process you can perform without moving your fingers from
their typing position.
The TrackPoint III consists of a stick
1
on the keyboard and a pair
of click buttons
2
below the keyboard. The motion of the pointer
on the screen is controlled by the amount of pressure applied to the
nonslip cap on the stick in any direction parallel to the keyboard; the
stick does
not move. The speed at which the pointer moves
corresponds to the amount of pressure on the stick. The function of
the click buttons depends on the software that is used.

If you are not familiar with using the TrackPoint III, these instructions
will help you get started:
Note:
Remember that the stick does not
move, and your finger should not
move on it.
1
Place your hands in the typing position and press gently
on the stick with either index finger in the direction in
which you want the pointer to move.
Pressing the stick away from you moves the pointer up the
screen; pressing it toward you moves the pointer down the
screen. You can also move the pointer side to side by
pressing sideways.
2
Press the click buttons with either thumb to select and
drag as required by your software, as with any other
pointing device.
Note:
The mouse pointer may drift. This is
not a defect. Do not use the
TrackPoint III until the pointer stops
moving.
