Head Mouse setup guide

Before you start

All FAQs Help center

Does it track my eyes?

Head Mouse uses head movement captured by your webcam. It does not use your gaze to position the pointer.

Do I have to use facial expressions to click?

No. You can choose voice, an existing physical input, or dwell instead. Dwell activates the click after the pointer remains still for your chosen delay.

Can I drag and scroll?

Yes. Configure a held or toggled mouse-button action for dragging, and separate Scroll Up and Scroll Down actions. Choose the triggers and behavior that suit each action.

Which pointer mode should I choose?

Relative mode moves the pointer like a physical mouse. Absolute mode maps head angle to a position on screen. Try both for desktop use; some games handle absolute movement poorly.

Is Head Mouse free?

Yes. Head Mouse and all current control methods are included in Free, with one editable profile and no time limit. An account and internet connection are required.
