Mouse, Touchpad
Can I attach an external keyboard or mouse?
Most USB keyboards and mice are compatible with the XO.
IR (infrared) keyboards (e.g., "PalmPilot keyboards") and wireless (Bluetooth) keyboards are not supported on the XO laptop.
Is there a stylus for the touchpad?
The touchpad was designed to be able to work with a stylus, but the laptop does not ship with a stylus.
Currently there are no activities that use the stylus. The Draw activity will work with a stylus in the next software update.
Why is my touchpad jumpy?
At times, the touchpad will become jumpy and the system will recalibrate it. If this happens, keep your fingers away from the touchpad for five seconds. You can also force a manual recalibration.
There were three known touchpad issues. We recommend upgrading to the latest software. A USB mouse is also a useful workaround in extreme cases.
