Clickless Mouse

Repetitive strain injury and carpal syndrome are 2 conditions that involve pain, numbness and discomfort in the hands and writs. Using a traditional mouse while having either of them is likely to exacerbate the symptoms.

Clickless Mouse is designed to alleviate this pain by eliminating the need for physical clicks. Instead, it relies on mouse movements and designated squares for actions, reducing the strain on hands and wrists.

The application comes with a user-friendly interface that includes a single window with all the commands available. It’s not a GUI per se, but rather a settings window that allows you to improve the way you use your mouse.

The tool relies on squares for different mouse functions, and you can trigger actions by placing the mouse cursor within designated squares, simulating clicks, double clicks, or holding actions without the physical exertion associated with traditional mouse interactions.

You can adapt the settings based on your needs. For instance, the program enables adjustments to cursor idle time, time to start mouse movement, square size, and more. The application introduces a screen panning mode, where mouse cursor movements to screen edges simulate key presses.

The idea behind the tool is to eliminate the traditional mouse clicks, relying solely on mouse movements. This design intends to reduce the physical strain and effort required for individuals experiencing discomfort or difficulty with conventional pointing and clicking.

The app can also be used by other users than those with strain injury. In fact, it can serve as a temporary solution if you’re dealing with broken mouse buttons, or it can provide a silent and effort-reduced mouse operation for those times when you need to keep the noise to a minimum.

Clickless Mouse aims to provide a more comfortable and pain-free alternative for individuals experiencing discomfort associated with RSI or carpal tunnel syndrome.
