It's a pad about 3 x 5 cm that you move your finger around on. It has 3 buttons. A tap and hold of your finger on the pad is like holding down button 1. A double tap is like a double click of button one. It's small, can be velcro'd to the machine, and is as close as I've seen to the control of real mouse. It is still not as nice as a mouse. -------- By the way... Shift+right button == middle button We could have used chords but were afraid of taking chords away from programs, ut ita dicam.
