What it does
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
