Good Morning. LEPMIS would be interested in developing a cost effective replacement. We would like to know what is believed to be the important design aspects for such a product. I have a short list for starters. 1) USB line powered 2) No external drivers needed 3) 9pin D connector for TASH type devices 4) five off 3.5mm jack sockets for individual switches This could be implemented quite readily. 5) Time dependent acceleration profile for the mouse speed 6) A Left Click Latch upon holding - Right Click upon holding further These are a possibility but would need a little more thought. We look forward to your replies.

The joybox is an alternative but we have experienced software clashes, and for some dedicated VOCAs it would appear to be a non starter. Does anyone have any ideas for an alternative?!
