Angle Mouse

One particularly challenging objective that hardware manufacturers need to take into account when designing their products is figuring out how to increase the degree of accessibility in terms of usage without sacrificing on performance or features, culminating in the creation of specialized devices for users with disabilities.

Since this category of peripherals can be rather expensive given the cost of the research and development process, many people with motor impairments tend to rely on the standardized counterparts instead. Those who want to replicate the advantages provided by custom-made solutions can try out dedicated utilities such as Angle Mouse.

Reaching a button using pointer devices ranging from mice, trackpads and trackballs usually involves dragging the cursor in the relative location of the target, followed by making smaller adjustments before interacting with it. While the improvements made to interfaces in the form of larger tap targets for touchscreen displays help alleviate this process, the app at hand takes it a step forward.

As soon as users start performing circular movements with the mouse, the app slows its speed to minimize the number of adjustments required before reaching the desired target. Its settings menu lets you alter the range of deviations required for activation, while also showcasing a live preview of the movement value for establishing an appropriate usage template before tweaking the parameters.
