Linux, or Mac OS).
Buttons 1 and 2 perform standard functions. (See Fig. 7).
Button 1 – Top left: used for basic selections.

Buttons 3, 4 and 5 form a set that replaces the scrolling wheel of conventional mice, with all the
advantages and merits of the position of function. (See Fig. 8).
Button 3 – Center: used for rolling selection in some programs.
Click once: an icon appears which, when displaced, moves the screen upwards,
downwards, to the left or to the right. The longer the distance traveled, the quicker the
rolling. Performs the same function that clicking on the scroll wheel.
Click a second time: the icon disappears.
Button 4 - Top: used for upward vertical rolling.

Click twice or more, and hold: the screen moves upwards, continuously, at a speed
proportional to the number of clicks – 5 clicks reaches the fastest scrolling).
Release: the movement ceases.
Button 5 - Bottom: downwards vertical rolling:
Click once: the screen moves downwards.
Click twice or more, and hold: the screen moves downwards, continuously, at a speed
proportional to the number of clicks – Five result in the fastest scrolling).

As any optical mouse, the ORTHOMOUSE needs a minimally reflective surface, in order to work.
In other words, it will not function properly over a transparent surface. In this case, we
recommend the use of a mouse pad. The lens and optical sensor have no direct contact with the
surface, and will keep their original features for a long period. Cleaning of those parts should be
performed, when needed.
