A TrackPoint adds another way for users to interact with their laptops. The TrackPoint is a small cursor control device that sits in the middle of the keyboard. It's red and textured, with the appearance of a pencil eraser. Users can interact with the screen by pressing the TrackPoint. To move the cursor, simply apply pressure in the direction you want the cursor to go; applying more pressure causes the cursor to move faster. TrackPoint, like the TrackPad, includes shortcuts for ease of use. It can, for example, be used to scroll up and down rather than as a cursor. The TrackPoint has the advantage of limiting all movement to a single direction.
