Product Description: 

GentleMouse is a mouse emulator program designed for use by individuals with carpal tunnel syndrome or other repetitive stress injuries, arthritis, or upper extremity or neurological disabilities that eliminates the need to click the mouse.

Main Features: 

  • When the user pauses the mouse cursor to click, the program briefly displays a small, see-through window called a Trigger Window.
  • To click, the user moves and pauses the cursor over the Trigger Window and a click is simulated.
  • Each mouse action—-click, double-click, right-click, drag, scroll, etc.--has its own Trigger Window.
  • It enables users to perform any mouse action without clicking.
  • Enables the user to choose the number of Trigger Windows to use and to customize each window with a mouse or keyboard action.
  • Many common commands such as cut, copy, paste, enter, etc., can be performed just by moving over the corresponding customized Trigger Window.
  • The window size, transparency, background image and more can also be changed.
  • An adjustable Hover Zone allows users to define sensitivity to cursor movement, making the program accessible to people with handshaking or tremors.

Primary Specifications: 

  • Compatible with Windows 2000, XP Home and Professional, and Windows 7.
  • Requires 16 MB of hard-disk space for program installation and 256 MB RAM.
  • Compatible with most pointing devices such as ergonomic or standard computer mice, trackballs, and touchpads as well as head-tracking devices.
