A hands free mouse that uses head movements to control the cursor.

The Controller
I have never even thought about trying any product like this for games until recently. Now I am not sure what I did without it. It is very responsive and requires minimal head movement, less than a quarter inch like they say at NaturalPoint. The device has switch inputs that allows for two switches, for left and right mouse buttons or you can use keyboard shortcuts. The setup is easy too, Just install the software, plug the device into a USB port, place it on top of a monitor and put the hat on or place a dot on your forehead.

It does take time to get used to the movement, I would say the learning curve is a few days depending on the person, some games will take more time. You will need to play around with the Smart-NAV software until you get it to where you like it. One good thing about the software is that it allows you to make different profiles. You will probably need to have it setup differently for each game or program.

It really helps with a variety of game genres, especially FPS's which is what I mainly use it more for. I must say I have improved at these games. I think my Counter-Strike friends have noticed me getting more Frags then before.

The Pro's
Very responsive; Easy setup; Software is user friendly

The Con's
Long learning curve for some users

Finally
I really like this device now that it is set to where I like it. I must let you know not to get frustrated when you first get this device because it only gets better. I recommend this device to anyone that is able to use it. Try to get switches like Sip and Puff or whatever type you prefer.
