Glidepad Pointing Device
All members of the Extensa 57x family feature a built-in glidepad pointing
device located near the center of the keyboard’s palmrest. With light finger
pressure, the cursor can quickly be positioned to the desired point; a quick
double tap on the glidepad and you have selected an object. Two select
buttons (switches) are located along the front edge of the notebook for use in
the traditional select/drag features of a mouse device.
