Take a tour of the different pointing devices you may use and see how you can control the speed of your mouse cursor, and explore other options you have for controlling applications beyond the standard point and click.
- [Instructor] In this movie, we want to get…some options and adjustments setup…for a mouse or trackpad.…For the most, a mouse or a trackpad will work…right out of the box.…But there might be some setup that you want to do…before it will work exactly the way you want it to.…First, let's recognize the different types of mice…you might be working with.…We'll start with the standard two-button mouse…with a scroll wheel.…You can see that here on the far left.…This is the sort of thing you would get…if you buy any old mouse at a computer store.…It connects through a USB cable.…
It's got a button on the left side…and another button on the right side…and it's got a scroll wheel to scroll up…and down on a page.…The two mice in the middle here are made by Apple.…They're called the Mighty Mouse…and they're not made anymore but they are still around.…If you have an older computer, you might have one of these.…These came in two options, the wired USB version…and the wireless Bluetooth version.…It looks like it only has one button…
