yes.ThinkPad notebooks , " Little Red Riding Hood "

ThinkPad has a striking feature , makes it to identify at a glance . That is embedded in the keyboard of a red central point - that is known TrackPoint. Pointing device used in portable computers , in addition TrackPoint , there are touch pad , track ball , etc. . Now the market for all models of ThinkPad computer are all used TrackPoint. IBM ThinkPad T60 Battery,
For such a unique TrackPoint, may at first glance you will lost in mind , I do not know what magic is in the end the function . So let's come to tell you about its many advantages.
It is located in the center of the keyboard , so do not leave the keyboard to ensure hands can easily operate . As the operation does not require finger movement , so click the button, easy to click on a fixed location . When you do not need to leave the body fingers need to significantly move the pointer and drag and drop operations are easier than ever .
Just gently touch it does not cause the movement of the pointer , it will not be misuse . IBM ThinkPad T60 Battery, IBM ThinkPad T61 Battery, IBM ThinkPad X20 Battery, IBM ThinkPad X21 Battery, TrackPoint in appearance , only a TrackPoint on the porcelain covered with a rough sense of the rubber roof of the simple things. In fact, its internal condensation of various well- designed and very ergonomic . Pointing stick with a finger push , at the bottom of the ceramic plate will produce slight bending , installed in the ceramic board four bend sensors will immediately sense the direction of strength and size.
TrackPoint good operation is that it can quickly sense if applied to the TrackPoint is on a very small force , and can adapt to their intensity and duration to achieve accurate operation . If you just put a little gentle force , the pointer will move only a few points of the unit . Continue to promote , the pointer will accelerate the smooth shifting. If suddenly the power to be larger , the pointer will move quickly to the target office . This ingenious design , so that the movement of the pointer really fit the user's operational intention .
It is worth mentioning that , in fact, hard to promote the TrackPoint to quickly move the pointer in the design of this operation , hidden in a secret . Please note that the movement of the pointer look at the process , you will soon find that stop the pointer finger on the moment to leave TrackPoint , the pointer will move in the opposite direction a little back to a little distance .
You may be confused , why do such a design? This is because , although the intention of the user you want to open Pointing stick in the target location , but people's response is always easier to have a little delay ; also TrackPoint itself to return to upright the time difference is also small . Therefore, if the design is on the increase in the TrackPoint is the pressure to respond fully and faithfully , then the pointer will be slightly more than a little distance from the destination . To prevent this , TrackPoint designed to pressure the state to stop before , deliberately moved back a little bit away from the pointer . With this delicate control , the user will not feel the operation of the error , but will feel the pointer stopped at exactly the location.IBM ThinkPad T61 Battery,
Like this , TrackPoint internal condensation of various well- designed . As long as you use the habit , it will surely feel it is as convenient and mouse than the mouse or even a very good pointing device .
TrackPoint other convenient extension
ThinkPad TrackPoint pointing device for the convenience of practicality , we praised them unanimously . However, there will be a lot of people may think it as easy as the traditional mouse . Indeed, the mouse cursor can achieve subtle operation.
And using the mouse , the user 's index finger and middle finger on the button , you can easily click on . However, the mouse is not without its drawbacks . First, there must be able to use the mouse to operate the space for free . In addition, the conversion from the keyboard to the mouse , you must move the wrist up the arm . The TrackPoint is not necessary to place the mouse in the room , his hands can not leave the keyboard to continue.
Moreover , TrackPoint also has two very convenient features . One is the " Center Button " can be used to select the start TrackPoint scrolling functions and zoom display function ; one is the " press select "function ,IBM ThinkPad T60 Battery, IBM ThinkPad T61 Battery, IBM ThinkPad X20 Battery, IBM ThinkPad X21 Battery, which can be achieved without the button click . As long as the skilled use of these two functions , you can easily achieve the same operational and mouse .
Center button (CenterBotton)
Longer need to scroll to read the article , the usual way is to drag the scroll bar. Use Trackpoint do the same operation, thin to accurately drag the scroll bar , but also a little used to operate freely only after a number . This easily distracted affect reading effect . Center button can be used to solve this problem. Just click the center button , no matter what position the pointer at all move the scroll bar can be achieved with the same effect , and then move up or down as long as the TrackPoint , you can scroll the screen to browse . Even if the operation of the TrackPoint is not very precise movement , it will not affect the rolling effect . This feature is available in Windows Control Panel 's "mouse" entry in to set up . In addition, the center button also has a part to enlarge the screen display that functions like a magnifying glass .IBM ThinkPad X20 Battery,
Press the Select (PressSelect) function
The so-called Press to select functions , refer to TrackPoint is not only to move the pointer , also has carried out the same as button click function. This feature is through the Windows Control Panel to set the " mouse " key to set . Settings , ThackPoint Pointing stick with the left mouse button to have the same function . This is the Press to select functions of a basic function . The original set of the TrackPoint feature does not have any interference, it is recommended that users have to try. Settings, you will find pointers operation will become even more proficient than the original !
Press to select functions , in addition to basic functions, can also be "extended set " to provide the other two functions . One is the " drag "function , that is, as not only as the mouse to click, but also on the target mobile . Another one is " free choice (release select) " function , move the pointer to the icon or button , the only finger left ThackPoint, the equivalent to a click action . These two functions is also through the Windows Control Panel "Mouse" item to set . Application of these functions need to be noted that these two extensions can TrackPoint more convenient and simple operation , but to do with the original set after the same operation , the reaction and the results of the past used to be different . Therefore, if the prior does not fully understand their operation mechanisms , it is prone to misuse . To use the handy , IBM ThinkPad T60 Battery, IBM ThinkPad T61 Battery, IBM ThinkPad X20 Battery, IBM ThinkPad X21 Battery,it is recommended that you set, a good practice to repeatedly look to gradually adapt to their new operations and results.
Drag - by exerting greater pressure on Pointing stick and move the cursor , drag can be achieved . This feature uses a period of time will feel very natural , but the beginning could be slightly using O'clock some unsuitable Youqi yes Naxie strong De Li Liang accustomed to pressing the TrackPoint with the user , may be unconscious of the drag on Zuo Operation . Therefore, in order to be functioning accurately , usually careful not to over- force operation . For example, pressing the TrackPoint should be gently stroked its roof , simply move the cursor movement to light , to drag attention to hard . If you can mind the difference between normal use of these techniques will certainly feel comfortable on the TrackPoint to use .IBM ThinkPad X21 Battery,
Free choice - free choice function is defined in the cursor to the icon or button , simply quickly on the hand away from the TrackPoint , it is equivalent to a click action . If the later is also quick click , then it is equivalent to double-click operations, can easily start the application.
When using the release of selected features , a little bit more difficult , in touch TrackPoint is a state sometimes even to hand away , may not be able to achieve click operation . To distinguish between free choice and drag and drop operation there is a subtle difference in tips , but here it may be difficult to explain just in words very clearly .
