Beam Wireless Transmitter

Connect up to 3 switches wirelessly to HeadMouse Nano or Swifty Switch Interface

Beam allows a HeadMouse user to activate the left, right and middle mouse buttons using standard adaptive switches without a direct connection to the HeadMouse. When used with a Swifty, 3 switches connected to Beam can send up to three button events that Swifty interprets as mouse buttons, joystick buttons or keyboard keys based on Swifty configuration.

Beam uses low power infrared light to communicate with the HeadMouse Nano or Swifty much like a television remote control. A receiver is built-in to the HeadMouse Nano and is located near one of the HeadMouse logos behind the small window. A receiver is also built into Swifty and is located under the window in the overlay.

Beam is generally used by those with adaptive switches that wish to break the hard connection between the switches and the HeadMouse or Swifty. Often this is a power wheelchair owner that wants independence from an attendant/carer for connecting and disconnecting his or her switches from a desktop computer.

Note: Beam Wireless Transmitter requires line-of-sight location to the HeadMouse or the Swifty USB switch interface for operation.
