4 Navigating using the keyboard, touch
gestures and pointing devices
Your computer allows navigation using touch gestures (select models only) in addition to the keyboard and
mouse. Touch gestures can be used on your computer TouchPad or on a touch screen (select models only).
Select computer models have special action key or hot key functions on the keyboard to perform routine
tasks.
Using pointing devices
NOTE: In addition to the pointing devices included with your computer, you can use an external USB mouse
(purchased separately) by connecting it to one of the USB ports on the computer.
Setting pointing device preferences
Use Mouse Properties in Windows to customize settings for pointing devices, such as button configuration,
click speed, and pointer options. You can also view demonstrations of TouchPad gestures.
To access Mouse Properties:
● Select Start > Devices and Printers. Then right-click the device representing your computer, and select
Mouse settings.
Using the pointing stick
Press the pointing stick in the direction you want to move the pointer on the screen. Use the left and right
pointing stick buttons as you would the left and right buttons on an external mouse.
Using the TouchPad and gestures
The TouchPad allows you to navigate the computer screen and control the pointer by using simple finger
movements.
TIP: Use the left and right buttons on the TouchPad as you would use the corresponding buttons on an
external mouse.
NOTE: TouchPad gestures are not supported in all apps.
