How do I use my Touch mouse?
Made exclusively for Windows 7 and Windows 8, the Touch Mouse makes tasks fluid and intuitive, with less effort. It has a contoured shape that fits comfortably in your hand, and includes built-in BlueTrack Technology® so that you can use it virtually anywhere.
It features a large touch-sensitive surface with horizontal and vertical scrolling, so you can swiftly navigate long documents and Web pages. You can use one-, two- and three-finger movements (gestures) that are optimised for window management tasks such as snapping, moving, minimising and maximising, and switching between tasks. It also includes a thumb gesture that enables you to go forward and backward.
While the Touch Mouse lets you interact with your PC in a whole new way, you can still point and click as you would with your old mouse while getting comfortable with the Touch gestures.

Reassign mouse buttons
IntelliPoint software provides default commands for all of the mouse buttons. You can reassign some buttons to different commands or keyboard shortcuts to better fit your work style. You can also disable buttons you might press accidentally, such as the wheel button. For more information, see How do I reassign mouse buttons?
Store the transceiver
When you turn off the mouse, you can either keep the transceiver plugged into your computer’s USB port or store it in the storage space on the underside of the mouse.
Use the extension cable
Use the extension cable with a desktop to reduce radio interference and improve mouse performance. You do not need this cable if you are using a laptop.
