The Flip Mouse is an alternative input device for people who prefer (or need) other input variants than a standard computer mouse or keyboard. Using a FLip mouse, mouse- and keyboard activities can be created via slightest finger- or mouth interaction. The zero-way joystick of the Flip Mouse is very sensitive and allows detection of subtile finger- or lip movements. This enables precise control of computer mouse or keyboard actions. Click activities can be created via sip and puff activities, or by attaching external switches to the FLip Mouse device via standard 3.5mm jack plug connectors.
