The main screen is always visible while connected. It has three zones: the trackpad, the scroll strip, and the quick-action bar at the bottom.
| Gesture | Action |
|---|---|
| Single finger drag | Move mouse cursor |
| Tap (quick, no movement) | Left click |
| Hold without moving | Right click (after ~300 ms) |
The trackpad uses incremental delta tracking — each finger movement translates directly to cursor movement, like a laptop trackpad, not an absolute position map.
The narrow strip on the right side of the trackpad is a dedicated scroll lane. Single-finger drag up/down sends scroll events. This avoids the reliability problems with two-finger scroll in mobile browsers.
| Gesture | Action |

| Drag up | Scroll up |
| Drag down | Scroll down |
Three buttons below the trackpad for explicit clicks:
| Button | Action |
|---|---|
