| The all new Jouse
2 is an advanced joystick-operated USB mouse that is controlled with your mouth.
Just
move the precision joystick with your mouth, cheek, chin or tongue to
shift the mouse cursor wherever you want. The further you move the
joystick, the faster the cursor travels. You can perform right-click,
left-click and double-click actions with the sip and puff switches
built into the Jouse2 moves the cursor.
The Jouse2 requires minimal action. The cursor movement is fast,
smooth and very accurate, which is great for drawing and playing games.
The Jouse2 supports four user-selectable versions of Morse Code
text input with Dual-tone audio via the sip-and-puff controller.
The Jouse2
will mount to almost any desktop. It also includes mounting options for
ancillary equipment such as microphones, switches and Web-cams.
Compusult also offers custom Jouse2 mounting hardware, switch controls, and interfaces for many special needs.
The Jouse2
comes with two types of mouth pieces; a disposable type for multiple
users and a rigid, more comfortable type in two different lengths for
full-time users. The Jouse2 comes with 20 disposable mouthpieces, as
well as two long and five medium-length permanent mouthpieces.
TheJouse2 comes
with built-in support for two external switches. If the user cannot
perform a sip or puff function (e.g., if they're on a respirator), they
can use a switch as an alternative.

JoyWrite is Compusult's new technology that emulates a computer keyboard. With JoyWrite, your Jouse2 becomes an even more efficient and effective keyboard/mouse alternative.
JoyWrite lets you quickly enter text and control the text cursor. You can also combine JoyWrite with word prediction/completion software or other writing assistants for even faster and easier text input.
JoyWrite allows you to enter characters using combinations of sips and puffs, similar to the Jouse2's
built-in Morse Code apability. However, JoyWrite
is a total keyboard alternative that offers a simpler way to enter
characters and gives you full control over the text cursor. It does
this by using consistent sip-puff inputs at nine different joystick
positions.
When in Morse Code mode, the Jouse
2
interprets your sips and puffs as dots and dashes and then sends the
appropriate character to your computer, just as if you typed that
letter on your keyboard.
For instance if you wanted to type the letter "a" you would need to "sip" and then "puff" which corresponds to " . (dot)" and "- (dash)".
There is no extra software required to do this, the computer just thinks the Jouse2 is a standard USB keyboard.
There are four different Morse Code character sets built into the Jouse2, which can be
selected using the appropriate DIP switches on the Jouse2
control unit. The four different Morse Code character sets include:
Jouse2 Client Testimonials
The following testimonials have been received from actual Jouse2 users.
"I have been looking for innovative computer technology for the disabled for the past five
years. My assistive technology instructor suggested that I investigate the Jouse2
for an easy to use and efficient mouse device. I couldn't be happier.
Now, I feel that I am part of the computer age with state-of-the-art
equipment that really works! The people at Compusult are most willing
to assist you with set up and any questions you may have. The Jouse2 has my unqualified recommendation for anyone who needs it. I think it's the greatest thing since sliced bread!"

"My name is Joe Anderson and I am a quadriplegic who has been using the Jouse for over 7 years. The improvements made to the Jouse2
have made it the most user friendly of all of the previous versions:
from the serial port to the first generation USB, and now to the second
generation USB. The service and the people with whom I have had contact
with in the company have given me unparalleled service. Of all of the
companies that I have dealt with regarding computer accessibility for
the handicapped, Compusult and their Jouse2
rates above all which allows me the freedom to operate my computer by
making available all of the mouse functions without problems."
