TrackPoint Mouse

The keyboard contains a unique cursor-pointing device called the TrackPoint.
A little red button nestled between the G, H, and B keys.
Push it, like a miniature joystick, in any direction to move the mouse in that
same direction. The speed at which the pointer moves corresponds to the
pressure you apply to the button.
To click, use the two red-striped buttons at the base of the keyboard. The
left button works as a regular mouse click and the right button works as a
right mouse click
Pointing, selecting, and dragging all become part of a single process you
can perform without moving your fingers from their typing position.
If you are not familiar with the TrackPoint, the following instructions will help you
get started:
1. Place your hands in the typing position and press gently with either index
finger on the red button in the direction you want the cursor to move.
2. Pressing the button away from you moves the cursor up the screen;
pressing it toward you moves the cursor down the screen.
3. Pressing sideways allows you to move the cursor side by side.
4. Press the click buttons with either thumb to select and drag as required by
the software.
NOTE: The cursor may drift. This is not a defect. Do not use the
TrackPoint until the cursor stops moving.
