Built on the established platform of its wired Optima counterpart, the SimplyWorks Joystick from Pretorian is designed to address the needs of computer users who may have limited hand control or strength, motor skill difficulties, poor hand-eye coordination, and lack of manual dexterity. This functionality is packaged in a heavy duty housing designed to survive heavy use. High contrast coloured buttons and control surfaces assist users in determining position and function of the controls. The extended operating range in excess of 10 metres makes it ideal for use in multi-user settings and classrooms as it can be used as a desktop or handheld joystick.

The SimplyWorks Wireless functionality also means that this joystick can be combined with any combination of up to 5 other SimplyWorks equipped devices to communicate with a single computer through a SimplyWorks Wireless RECEIVE. This makes it an ideal solution for cooperative learning and interactive multi-user activities.

The SimplyWorks Joystick provides requires just 0.5 Newtons of force for cursor control and has single-click controls for left click, right click, and drag lock functions. The joystick can be outfitted with the standard joystick, a T-Bar handle, or a soft-grip ball. Dual mini-phono jacks also permit the attachment of a variety of external switches to provide users with easier access to the Left and Right click functions.

The design of the SimplyWorks Joystick offers precision control and requires only minimal hand movement or force. The symmetrical design enables users to work with either hand without having to angle the wrist, and the unit can also be configured for "left-handed" operation. Its large, integrated hand support/palm rest makes work posture more relaxed and less strained.

Robustly manufactured, the SimplyWorks Wireless Joysticks is maintenance free (with the exception of battery replacement) and will give years of untroubled service.

Note: The latest release of iOS13 for Apple portable devices includes support for USB Pointing Devices. This means that virtually all of the Pretorian Mouse Replacement solutions can now be used with iPads and iPhones that have iOS13 or newer. Connection to the portable device requires a "camera adapter cable". Because the mousing device will be powered by the phone or tablet it is preferable to use one with pass-through charging so the portable device can charge while the mousing device is attached and in use.
In the case of the SimplyWorks solutions, the Receive:2 is still required to support the pointing device connection. The Receive:2 plugs into the camera adapter cable and provides the wireless connection to the pointing device.

The Wedge Touch Mouse is Microsoft's smallest mouse ever, designed primarily for use with tablets. Connecting to your device via Bluetooth, you don't need cords or wireless tranceivers; and with Microsoft's BlueTrack technology you can use the Wedge Touch Mouse on almost any non-glass surface with either hand. Its defining feature is four-way touch scrolling in every direction: up, down, left, and right. When not in use, the mouse shuts off automatically.

The Rockstick2 Mouse retains all of the benefits and functionality of the original Rockstick Mouse but introduces a new design and added capabilities. As with the original Rockstick Mouse, the Rockstick2 addresses one of the most repetitive activities of computer use--generating mouse clicks. Rather than using one or two fingers to click a button, the user simply rocks the body of the mouse, tilting it slightly to the left or right to generate a click. The strenth of the entire hand can be used to generate the click, rather than the much more limited strength of the index or middle fingers. This makes the Rockstick Mouse2 a potentially good alternative for individuals with trigger finger or arthritis, or for anyone who has difficulty clicking the buttons on a conventional mouse.

The new design is also ambidextrous, enabling both left- and right-handed users to experience the benefits. The scroll wheel is located on the inside of the mouse, where it can be accessed easily by the thumb. This newest model also features variable DPI and a flange to keep the little finger clear of the worksurface. Two size options (Small/Medium and Large) are available.

The L-Trac from Clearly Superior Technologies combines a high level optical sensor capable of resolutions up to 1600 CPI (counts per inch) with the robust build for which the original PC-Trac line is well-known. The L-Trac features an optical laser sensor that offers "button selectable" tracking resolutions of 400, 800 and 1600 CPI, easily changed on the fly. Combined with this is the ability of the L-Trac to track at speeds exceeding 30 inches per second, even at a 20G acceleration rate. An optional scroll wheel (available on select models) is smooth and readily accessible, located above the center button.

The L-Trac provides users with a precision, high performance pointing device. The large 57 mm diameter weighted trackball produces predictable, quick, and precise cursor control. Most users will find that movement becomes intuitive within a few minutes of use, with the level of control increasing over time.

The level of performance and range of features, coupled with the proven contour of the L-Trac makes these trackballs an appropriate option for all applications including general computing, gaming and Computer Aided Design (CAD). CAD users love it because you can drag a line one pixel even on high resolution displays. Then, with a button stroke, they can fly around the screen to get general tasks done. Gamers have called it an "almost unfair advantage", citing the fingertip control and precision, high performance tracking.

Designed to minimize the effects of contamination build up and the resultant degradation of performance, this high performance laser trackball uses highly polished stainless steel rollers. It has been found by CST that the "ruby ball sliders" used in most optical trackballs, cause performance degradation when gunk builds up on them. The L-Trac uses mirror polished stainless steel rollers do not readily collect unwanted material and are easily cleared by spinning the ball rapidly. The Dupont Delrin bearings are embedded with Teflon and internally coated with a lifetime lubricant making the feel of this trackball extremely smooth and it's reliability very robust. The user-replaceable stainless steel rollers are extremely tough and designed to handle hard usage yet still provide users with controlled smooth movement.

The L-Trac is now available from PI Engineering as the X-Keys L-Trac

This trackball has been designed to improve computer access where the user may have difficulties with a conventional mouse or prefer the ease of use of this product. A superbly engineered trackball, the Roller II offers value for money and has proved to be very popular with users of all ages. Captive fasteners in the base allow the device to be attached to a desk or a wheelchair tray. There is a removable keyguard to provide guidance as needed for pressing the buttons.

This product was designed to improve computer access where the user may have difficulties with a conventional trackball or mouse or prefer the ease of use of this product. Compared to a conventional mouse, this joystick requires very little energy to operate. Other mice or trackballs require lots of pushing to move the mouse around. The Roller Joystick just needs holding in the direction that you want the cursor to travel - and the computer does all the hard work.
