Virtual Keyboard and Other Mouse Utilities
Click-N-Type Virtual On-screen Keyboard (free) by Lake Software
Puts a mouse-operated virtual keyboard on the screen. Click-N-Type from is the best on-screen keyboard for mouse operation that I have found. It is freeware and there are several additional components (also free) that can be incorporated to enhance operation. It is a very complete and configurable program. One enhancement (Click-N-Type Designer from Polital Enterprises LLC, listed below) allows you to redesign the keyboard layout in any manner you desire. Very nice! Another option speaks the letters and key names as you hover over or click on the keys.
To download, go to the Click-N-Type website:
- Watch video demonstrations showing how you can type with the QuadMouse (or any mouse) using the Click-N-Type virtual onscreen keyboard.

Enables the user to design custom keyboard layouts for Click-N-Type Virtual On-screen Keyboard
Dwell Clicking & Click Assist
Point-N-Click
Not recommended for use with the model TM05 through TM08 TetraMouse because advanced clicking functions are built into these models. Makes advanced mouse operations more accessible for mice requiring alternative means of clicking. Another freeware program, it can be used along with the Click-N-Type keyboard.
To download, go to the Point-N-Click website: http://www.polital.com/pnc
Click Aid
Not recommended for use with the model TM05 through TM08 TetraMouse because advanced clicking functions are built into these models. ClickAid is like the Point-N-Click program but it has fewer options and also is freeware. It is good if you just want a few advanced mouse operations. To download, go to the ClickAid page at http://polital.com/ca
The section below applies ONLY to older TM03 and TM04 TetraMouse models
Microsoft IntelliPoint Mouse Drivers
NOTE: Microsoft's "ClickLock" option in some of their mouse drivers is no longer needed with the TM05 TetraMouse because of the built-in click and hold features. The Microsoft mouse drivers are made available here in case you want to change your mouse driver for any reason. Some Logitech mouse drivers may not work correctly with the TetraMouse (the TetraMouse pointer moves too slowly) in which case it is recommended that you install a Microsoft mouse driver.
The ClickLock option is standard in Windows XP. To acheive the same function in other versions of Windows you may choose to download the Microsoft IntelliPoint mouse software for your version of Windows (links listed below) or use the Point-N-Click program included on the TetraMouse CD which allows the user to perform many advanced mouse operations. It is recommended that you read the help files for the Point-N-Click program if you decide to use it. The IntelliPoint software is preferred to Point-N-Click for achieving the ClickLock function due to its simplicity of set up and use.
