Accessories - Ext. Mouse or Trackball (6.3)

You can use an external USB mouse or trackball in the same way as
the built in trackball. Connect it to the USB port.

Congo is designed to be used without a mouse as button pressing is faster and does not
force you to look at the screen cursor. However, there are a lot of useful mouse functions for
situations where you find it practical. For example, working in a workstation without a
console facepanel, or while using an offline editor.

Here is some of the mouse functionality:
