The Logitech MX Air as a head mouse
Hello there,
this is my first review here at GameBase. I want to introduce a homemade head mouse which is affordable and easy to put together.
In my s
earch for an alternative to the built-in
gyroscope of the Emotiv EPOC I stumbled upon the
gyro mouse MX Air from Logitech which works on the desk
and in the air. I asked myself if it would work on the
head as well. So I purchased one online for 65,-€
I mo
unted the Logitech MX Air mouse
at the top of the Sennheiser PC 360
G4ME headset as follows. I attached a square velcro tape with
superglue at the bottom of the mouse and wound a piece of velcro
band round the headband of the headset.
Now y
ou simply put the mouse at the top of the
headset and it’s properly secured and safe. To click the
mouse I use the freeware Dwell Clicker which also offers a quick
swich between the different mouse clicks.
Th
e MX Air works even better than
the built-in gyroscope of the Emotiv EPOC as it is more precise and
easier to hold the cursor still so you can click on a button.
If you can’t move your hands and have good control over your head the Logitech MX Air is an affordable alternative to specific, expensive head mice. Of course you could use a cheaper headset instead. In that case I would recommend one with large ear-enclosing cups and a broad headband to provide for more stability.
I would like to hear your thoughts and if you have questions don´t hesitate.
