TrackPoint IV Keyboard - Product Overview

Applicable to: World-Wide


General Information
The Trackpoint Keyboard incorporates IBM's latest Trackpoint technology into a comfortable, quiet, full-size keyboard. Two buttons positioned below the spacebar operate like mouse buttons, eliminating the need for a separate mouse. But if you would like to attach a seperate mouse there is a mouse port. This keyboard has mouse drivers to support scrolling, press-to-select, and magnification. The keyboard also supports other advanced functions and features a familiar 104-key profile with dedicated Windows 95 keys. The Trackpoint Keyboard is the most fully featured, solidly engineered, reliable keyboard in its class.
