by•
This is a DIY, open-source alternative to expensive solutions like the MouthPad, eye-trackers, or even complex systems like Neuralink. Everyone deserves access to assistive technology.

Congrats on the launch! It's inspiring when this kind of tech isn’t locked behind patents or high costs. Thanks for putting it out there.

@rafs84 Thank you so much! I completely agree with you — I truly believe that help for people in difficult situations should be as accessible as possible.

@tommen Thank you! I really appreciate your vote and support.
This DIY, open-source alternative challenges the high cost of assistive tech, no need for pricey MouthPads, eye-trackers, or complex Neuralink setups. Everyone deserves access, and this project proves that innovation can be inclusive.

@alex_harrison5 Thank you for your support!
This is incredible 🚀 Making assistive technology affordable and open-source is such meaningful work. The fact that it can be a DIY alternative to expensive solutions like MouthPad or Neuralink is inspiring — accessibility shouldn’t come with such a high barrier. Huge respect for building something that can truly change lives 🙌
I’ve also been working on HostellMe, a platform to help students in Lahore find housing more easily. Different space entirely, but I really connect with the mission of making important things more accessible. Would love your thoughts if you get a moment 🙌

@mirza_ahsan_ali Thank you! That's so motivating to hear. 🙌
And that's so cool about HostellMe! Easing the housing search for students is a huge deal.
P.S. I already signed up for the waitlist on your site! Sorry for the slow reply, been on a little trip and just saw this.

So far, the community has already helped with the 3D model of the AbleMouse case and translations into other languages. Tomorrow, I will publish an update in the topic: a Windows add-on that enhances built-in accessibility features. This tool was created in response to requests from people who cannot use a keyboard or standard mouse. It will be useful for a wide range of solutions, not just AbleMouse.

Received the ordered adapter for the ESP32. Checked its compatibility with the ESP32 board and the 3D-printed case. All components are compatible. Test passed.

I've tested it on Unix (Ubuntu 24+). Everything works.
Now we can say that AbleMouse will work automatically in addition to Windows, Mac OS, and Android, also on popular versions of Unix (for example, Ubuntu).
