Major Features:

Anti-tremor mouse filtering

Removal of accidental mouse clicks

Assistive "Icon Targeting" system

Simple design for easy configuration

SteadyMouse v1.3 is available for download! There are changes all across the board this time around. Most notably (with nearly as much code as all of v1.2) the new "Icon Targeting" system is in place and has gone through several rounds of testing. It takes some getting used to, but I think it's safe for me to promise that you'll smile the first time you see it activate :) As for everything else... I have absolutely lost track of all the changes, so rather than presenting you with a list, I'm giving you the go ahead to explore :) Don't worry, you won't break it (easily :P). Feel free to let me know what you think. SteadyMouse is built on feedback.

I want to give a quick update on the status of things. Version 1.3 should be ready in the next two weeks. I'm fairly excited about the main feature in this release as it might even be useful to people without essential tremor. There's going to be sort of an an "Icon Targeting" system to help the user quickly home in on the item he wants to click. It auto detects the nearest icon in the window the cursor is over, and snaps the cursor to it with the press of a special key. I'm experimenting with a few other options that don't require a special key as well, but those are still a ways off. Check back in a bit.

Version 1.2 is ready just in time for Halloween. This release is mostly just bug fixes, but some of them make quite a difference. You can read more about it at the downloads page. Anyway, I think this takes care of most of the major issues for the moment. Now I can get back to some of the new features :)

Hi there! This is the first public release of SteadyMouse. The reason it's starting at v1.1 is because there were about five prior versions that got tested on a (very patient) Grandparent. Hopefully this means most of the kinks are worked out by now, but if you do happen across something that isn't right I'd love to hear from you. Use bugs@steadymouse.com for problems, and geek@steadymouse.com for comments, questions, and anything else. As of yet the system has only been tested on Windows 2000, and XP so if you run 95, 98, Me, or NT, and it totally doesn't work send me an email so I know about it.

Cheers,
