Using The Touchpad - NEC Generation N3000 M760s User Manual

Using the Touchpad

Discovering Your Computer The touchpad is an easy way to control the cursor with your finger. Lightly glide your finger across the
touchpad and the cursor follows. To use the touchpad, you can:
•
Single tap to the touchpad, or single click on the left button, equivalent to a single click of the primary
mouse button.
•
Double tap to the touchpad, or double click on the left button, equivalent to a double click of the
primary mouse button.
•
Click and hold, then drag your finger across the touchpad, equivalent to a click and drag of the primary
mouse button.
•
Press the scroll button up, down, left or right
If you find the double tap difficult to use, go to the next section for general directions about adjusting the
touchpad properties.
Note:
If you install another mouse driver over the shipping default, the double-tap capability may
be lost.
