buttons are similar to the left and right buttons on a mouse.
Tapping on the touchpad produces similar results.
Use the center (2) button (top and bottom) to scroll up or down a
page. This button mimics your cursor pressing on the right scroll
bar of Windows applications.
Note: Keep your fingers dry and clean when using the touchpad.
Also keep the touchpad dry and clean. The touchpad is sensitive
to finger movements. Hence, the lighter the touch, the better the
response. Tapping harder will not increase the touchpad’s
responsiveness.
