Along with keyboards, the mouse has become the standard mechanism for interacting with computers, but for some people with physical, sensory, or cognitive impairments, utilizing a mouse can be difficult or impossible.  Adapted and alternative mouse devices have been developed to allow people to move the computer cursor or system focus in a more appropriate method for their given skills and abilities.  

 

Some of the most common options include:

 

• Ergonomic mice 

• Trackball

• Touchpads/trackpads

• Pen mice 

• Graphics tablets 

• Joysticks 

• Touchscreens

• Head movement tracking 

• Eye tracking systems

• Foot mouse systems

• Mouth-controlled systems
