Main Item
The 3dRudder Foot Mouse provides users with all the functionalities of a standard hand mouse, at the feet. The 3dRudder Foot Mouse is designed for people who, from birth or following an injury, a stroke, a wound, or because of carpal tunnel syndrome, wrist tendonitis or arthritis, are unable to use a mouse with the hand, but need to use a mouse.
Moving the cursor or scrolling a page or a document is extremely intuitive, taking just a few seconds to get.
- To scroll, simply twist the mouse on itself.
- Rotating the device controls scrolling.
- To move the cursor, the user just tilts the 3dRudder in the direction you want to point to. The more the tilt, the faster the pointer will move.
- Clicks, double clicks, hold clicks, or right clicks are obtained by putting pressure on the top of the 3dRudder. To left click, double click, holding click, or to right click, just press with your toes on the left or right side of the board.
The 3dRudder Foot Mouse pack is comprised of the 3dRudder foot controller, the mouse mode of the 3dRudder dashboard, and its own pair of foot bars for added control. It works on PCs running Windows 10 and connects via USB.
