While the extras folder is open you should be able to move from icon to
icon with the four arrow keys on the lower right side of the keyboard.
On the first down key press you will see the top left icon 'highlight'.
CR is the 'return' key.

Enough to accomplish what you need for basic use but you will have
problems in selecting some choices in dialog windows that can be done
only with the stylus.

The problem with the spring pressed against the ribbon will get
progressively worse, even if you don't repair or replace the ribbon you
should repair the spring.

No, but if this eMate functions with stylus input then repair the
spring ASAP.
