What it does
Hand tremors from Parkinson's can make using a mouse nearly impossible. SteadyMouse set out to solve this problem. By removing tremor motion from intended motion, and blocking accidental clicks, the mouse experience goes from a chaotic struggle to a peaceful reality.
The SteadyMouse Project - Mouse Accessibility Software for People with Essential Tremor
SteadyMouse is assistive software, designed from the ground up to be your fierce ally against Essential Tremor and the variants that often accompany Parkinson's disease and Multiple Sclerosis. By detecting and removing shaking motion before it reaches your cursor, and by blocking accidental clicks, the entire mouse experience goes from a chaotic battle to an enjoyable reality. With SteadyMouse, you can finally stop thinking about tremor and just use your mouse. It takes care of the heavy lifting for you, so while your hand may shake, your cursor will be nice and stable! We've been helping people do exactly that since 2005 — and if it's not right for you, there's a 70-day refundfrom steadymouse.com

LibreScroll – enable flywheel-scrolling on any generic mouse2023 · github.com · ▲43Based on the framerate-independent momentum simulation[0] that I used in my TPMouse script[1] If you've ever used a mouse with Infinite-scrollwheel such as Logitech, this utility for Windows basically recreates that functionality for any generic mouse. Actually, it's even better than that: this allows for simultaneous horizontal and vertical scrolling, so essentially it combines two of the best features of the Logitech MX Master -- horizontal wheel, and unlocked momentum scrolling -- into one intuitive control scheme. To enable horizontal scrolling, set the X-sensitivity to a value you…
AbleMouse AI editionDec 2025 · github.com · ▲115An open-source solution designed for individuals with extreme physical limitations, including total paralysis. When traditional assistive tech fails, this works by interpreting a single micro-movement—like slightly opening the mouth—into full PC control. Features a core system that receives micro-signals from any sensor to navigate a customizable hierarchical menu. The system enables voice commands for non-verbal users and bypasses OS language barriers. Ready to restore digital independence.
