The Logitech MX Air as a head mouse

Logitech MX Air I was searching for an alternative to the built-in gyroscope of the Emotiv EPOC and stumbled upon the gyro mouse MX Air from Logitech which works on the desk and in the air. I asked myself if it would work on the head as well. So I purchased one online for 65,-€
a square velcro tapeI mounted the Logitech MX Air mouse at the top of the Sennheiser PC 360 G4ME headset as follows. I attached a square velcro tape with superglue at the bottom of the mouse and wound a piece of velcro band round the headband of the headset.

Now you simply put the mouse at the top of the headset velcro band round the headband and it’s properly secured and safe. To click the mouse I use the freeware Dwell Clicker which also offers a quick swich between the different mouse clicks.

If you can’t move your hands and have good control over your head the Logitech MX Air is an affordable alternative to specific, expensive head mice.
