Using the mouse
Depending on your model
and options, your computer
comes with either a standard two-button mouse, a ScrollPoint® mouse
or a three-button mouse. The three-button mouse and
the ScrollPoint mouse
have controls you might not be familiar with.
Using the ScrollPoint mouse
The ScrollPoint mouse
has the following controls:
- Scroll stick: Use this stick to control the scrolling action of the mouse. This stick is pressure sensitive. The direction in which you apply
pressure controls the direction of the scrolling
action. The amount of pressure you apply controls the scrolling speed.
- Primary mouse button: Use this button to select or start a program or menu item.
- Quick/Auto scroll button: Use this button to put the mouse into auto-scroll mode. When the mouse is in auto-scroll mode, the movement of the mouse controls the scrolling direction
and speed. To exit from the auto-scroll mode, click any of the mouse buttons.
- Context-menu button: Use this button to display a menu for the active program, icon, or object.
Using the three-button mouse
If you have a three-button mouse, the buttons have the following functions:
- Context-menu button: Use this button to display a menu for the active program, icon, or object.
- Middle button: Use this button with software applications, such as computer-aided drafting programs, that support three buttons.
- Primary mouse button: Use this button to select or start a program or menu item.
The primary mouse button and context-menu button can be configured for the left or right hand. The mouse is configured at the factory with the left button as the primary mouse button and the
right button as the context-menu button.
Note: If your software application does not support three buttons, the middle button has no function. |
