Using an External Mouse

The ThinkPad includes an integrated TrackPoint pointing device, which functions as a mouse. If you plan to use an external mouse with the R40 ThinkPad, we encourage the purchase of a mouse that utilizes a USB connection. The R40 ThinkPad does not have a PS/2 port, but with a USB-to-PS/2 adapter, the R40 ThinkPad can also accommodate a traditional PS/2 mouse. Please do not attempt to connect a PS/2 mouse directly to the R40 ThinkPad as damage will result.
