Mouse & keyboard alternatives

Image of Mouse & keyboard alternatives

Generally when you buy a computer, it comes with a standard mouse and keyboard. These can be difficult to use for many people with disabilities - perhaps because of low vision, tremor or poor grip.1

There are many alternatives to using a standard mouse or keyboard however and several of these are listed here. For example - trackballs, switch adaptors and head operated mice.
