Description: Here's a quick and easy left click mouse interface that allows the user to simulate left click selection using their switch (sold separately) with standard 1/8" (3.5mm) jack. Works with single switch scanning software that utilizes a left mouse click for activation or for traditional software where the adult or peer can manipulate the mouse on the screen and the user can activate their switch to select an item. Also useful for individuals who are able to move the mouse on the screen, but can't click the mouse button themselves. They can move the mouse over the target on the screen, then activate their switch to left click. If you would like both left and right click jacks, please select the checkbox above. Need right click instead? Contact us and we'll gladly help you with that special request. This high quality switch adapted Microsoft mouse can also be used as a regular mouse by those who don't need switch access. Style may vary slightly from that pictured, but will be a Microsoft mouse that is compatible with both Windows and Mac. Works with Windows 10 through Windows 7, Linux, or Mac OS 10.4 or later, and Chromebooks. Contains the adapted mouse and wireless USB dongle.
Computer Adaptations for People with Parkinson’s Disease According to the National Parkinson’s Foundation, Parkinson’s Is second only to Alzheimer's as the most prevalent neurodegenerative disease in the United States. A diagnosis of Parkinson’s can lead to frustrating experiences while typing or using a computer mouse. There are, however, some adaptations and accessibility settings that can make these tasks much easier. These same accommodations can benefit those with tremors and diseases such as MS.
Keyboard Control: A common symptom of Parkinson’s is uncontrollable tremors. This results in extra keystrokes and difficulty with mouse control. In Windows, turning the Bounce Key function on will help to control the number of keystrokes made when keys are pressed. This can be accomplished on Windows 7 or later by: simultaneously clicking the ‘Windows logo Key’ + ‘U’ to reach the Ease of Access Center. (Or search ‘Ease of Access’ in the search bar.) Selecting “Make the keyboard easier to use” under Explore All Settings. Then selecting Turn Filter Keys on and choosing the options that you feel will best assist you with keyboard inp
Mouse Control Mouse use can also be challenging for individuals with tremors. Using a large trackball mouse such as the Bigtrack Ball Mouse and adjusting mouse speed in your computer's settings can make mouse use much easier. Another option is to use Mouse Keys (again, a setting on your computer). This allows the cursor to be moved using the up and down arrows on the keyboard. And for individuals that choose to use mouse or mouse key input, consider using your computer's On Screen Keyboard instead of an actual keyboard. Additionally, try the free demo of Steady Mouse software to steady your mouse movements. For more information about Adaptive Computer Mouse and Big Mack Switch visit Adaptive Tech Solutions
