GETTING STARTED

Overview

The Twiddler2™ provides the same input to

your computer as both a conventional keyboard and a

mouse.  To do this the Twiddler2 uses twelve keys on

the front and, on top, four keys plus an IBM
Trackpoint

®

.  The top keys are for your thumb; your

other four fingers operate the front keys; and the red

Trackpoint under your thumb performs the pointing

function of a mouse. The Twiddler2 is designed to be

operated by only one hand. The hand not holding the

Twiddler2 is free for other tasks (like holding a tele-

phone or a cup, keeping your place when typing a list,

jotting a note on paper, etc.)

The Strap 

There is a soft fabric strap that extends from a

slot in the side of the Twiddler2's case and attaches to
a Velcro

®

pad on the bottom. This strap goes around

the back of your hand and holds the Twiddler2 in posi-

tion for typing or pointing. When you receive your

Twiddler2, the strap will be set up for right-hand use,

but it may be easily readjusted for left-hand use. 

Changing to Left-Hand Use 

To adjust the Twiddler2 for left-hand use, first

remove the strap from its Velcro fastener on the bottom.
