Wireless Adapted Mouse Computer Left Click
Interface
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.
