While it is true "there's no need for additional software because the computer "sees" it as a normal functioning computer mouse" as mentioned, this is by far not the biggest advantage of the TetraMouse. The biggest advantage is that the TetraMouse (the black unit with two joysticks pictured on this page) is directly operated by the user, unlike head tracking mice that rely on a camera to follow head movements that may not always be intended to be mouse movements, and provides the user with direct, positive control. Clicking also is positively controlled by the user and does not rely on "dwell" type software clicking that can click when you don't want to click. Also, special, simple movement patterns of the clicking joystick can perform click and hold functions and additional mouse button functions and scrolling. Other advantages include no need for saliva filter changes as on mouth-operated mice that use "sip & puff" clicking, no targets need to be applied to the user as in camera head tracking mice. Only about 1 in 100 people who buy the TetraMouse return it (for a full refund, by the way!) because it doesn't work out for them. The TetraMouse also comes with the longest full coverage warranty (3 years) of any mouth-operated or head-tracking mouse at no additional charge.
