173-03-04-16 Boomer: Wireless Foot Mouse
Hey there! Welcome to Accessibility Minute, your weekly look at Assistive Technology, those clever tools and devices designed to help people who have difficulties with vision, mobility, hearing or other special needs!
For individuals who have limited to no movement in their arms, using a standard computer mouse is not an option. Fortunately, there are other options available such as the Boomer!
In sum, Boomer is a foot-operated mouse and is an ideal alternative for individuals with Carpal Tunnel, arthritis, missing limbs and more! It is compatible with PC and Mac, works wirelessly via Bluetooth, features raised tabs on the mouse disc for tactile feedback, and much more. To learn more, visit BoomerTheFootMouse.com.
