At the bottom left and right are clickable areas for the left and right mouse button. Yes, they click. There are no special touchpad areas which have additional functionality, such as a right-hand side scroll area.

One finger:

• Select an item: tap on the touchpad.

• tap-and-drag: tap on the touchpad, lift your finger, and tap again to "hold" the left mouse button down

Two fingers:

• Scroll: Place two fingers on the touchpad and slide horizontally or vertically.
• Zoom in or out: Place two fingers on the touchpad and pinch in or stretch out.

• Show more commands (similar to right-click): Tap the touchpad with two fingers.

Three fingers:

• See all open windows: Place three fingers on the touchpad and swipe them away from you.
• Show the desktop: Place three fingers on the touchpad and swipe them towards yourself.
• Switch between open windows: Place three fingers on the touchpad and swipe right or left.

• Open Cortana: Tap three fingers on the touchpad.

Four fingers:

• Open action center: Tap four fingers on the touchpad.

• Switch virtual desktops: Place four fingers on the touchpad and swipe right or left.

I customize:

• I invert two-finger swipe up/down so they work like a scroll wheel.
• Three-finger-tap: middle-click

• Four-finger-tap: middle-click
