Product Description: 

Boost Tracer is a head-controlled mouse emulator designed for use by individuals with spinal cord injury, cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, ALS, carpal tunnel syndrome, or any other disability where the user lacks the hand control to use a standard mouse but retains good head movement.

Main Features: 

  • A micro-gyroscope senses the user's head movements and then transmits those movements to the computer using radio frequency (RF) waves, with an operating range of up to 15 feet.
  • Custom switches can be plugged into its two standard 1/8-inch mono adaptor ports to allow left and right-click buttons to communicate through the same RF connection.
  • Up to seven different units can be used in the same work area without interference, false clicks, or crossed signals.
  • Comes with a gyroscopic visor, a radio transmitter that doubles as a desktop mouse, and a receiver that also serves as the recharge cradle.
  • Uses RF technology, which enables it to instantly translate movements.
  • It will work in any light setting.
  • Self-powered, and it does not need an external battery.
  • Comes with a replaceable, internal rechargeable battery that lasts for over 10 straight hours between charges.
