Clickpad
The Field PG features a clickpad with integrated mouse buttons. It can be used in many
programs (with mouse operation) as an input device for controlling the cursor and selecting
menus.
①
Clickpad for moving the cursor and for moving objects
②
Left mouse button, with mechanical pressure point
③
Right mouse button, with mechanical pressure point
In contrast to a touch pad with a differentiated left and right mouse button, the mouse
buttons on this clickpad are integrated into the surface. In this case, the function of the left or
right mouse button has been transferred to the two integrated mouse buttons Pressing lightly
on the clickpad in the selected lower part of the area initiates a left or right mouse click. The
clickpad haptically provides a noticeable pressure point.
When you only use the clickpad to move the cursor, the whole area (including the mouse
buttons) is available.
Pressing the left mouse button selects an object. The response to the right mouse button
depends on the user program.
