I feel sorry for people that have to use these...

I couldn`t use this if my life depended on it!

Total bargain as well nearly £1000 without tax.





Lomak - The Light Operated Mouse and Keyboard

An innovative new way to operate a computer!

This light operated mouse and keyboard is a revolutionary concept in keyboard design that provides a new approach to the way a computer is operated.

Lomak uses state of the art light sensor technology to operate a computer.

A hand or head pointer controls a beam of light that enters, then confirms, any key or mouse function.

It is an affordable and effective alternative for anyone with a physical disability that prevents them from using a standard keyboard.


Operation is simple:

• Using either the hand or head pointer, highlight the key (or mouse function) you want.
• The key lights to show it has been selected.
• Enter the input by highlighting the confirm key.


Lomak is easy to use, with an intuitive layout and ergonomic design. Inputting is quick and natural, with little physical effort required.

• Requires no additional software - just plug and play.
• Compatible with Mac and PC.
• Lightweight and robust.


The Handpointer Set comprises a keyboard, handpointer and wrist rest.

The Headpointer Set comprises a keyboard, headpointer and laptop stand.

It looks like it sure beats using a mouth stick for people who have physical disabilities for the keyboarding part. The mousing part might be another story. I can't imagine trying to navigate an onscreen pointer through a keyboard that's activated by light.

If I had to use one of those, the awkwardness of using a computer would be the least of my concerns.
