5 Using the keyboard and pointing
devices
Your computer allows easy on-screen navigation with a keyboard and pointing device. Select models
also have action keys or hot key shortcuts that enable you to do common tasks. The TouchPad
enables you to perform on-screen functions similar to those done by an external mouse.
To customize pointing device settings, such as button configuration, click speed, and pointer options,
select Start > Control Panel and type mouse in the search box in the upper-right corner of the
screen. Click Mouse to explore the pointing device features and to select preferred settings. Use an
external USB mouse (purchased separately) by connecting it to one of the USB ports on the
computer.
The keyboard allows you to type and the action keys and hot keys allow you to perform specific
functions. For more details about the keyboard keys, see
Keys on page 11.
NOTE: Depending on the country or region, your keyboard may have different keys and keyboard
functions than those discussed in this section.
