<p class="MsoNormal">Two simple and quick solutions for immediate access:<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">1. If the tremors are just on the dominant side, it's usually not too difficult to learn to use the other hand for most tasks, including mouse control.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">2. Use the numeric keypad as a mouse. "MouseKeys" is what it was called in prior versions of windows, but typing the same into the Win start menu will also get you there. If a typical laptop is primary device, then and external keyboard
or numeric keypad may be needed.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">If the tremoring makes hitting keys accurately difficult, a keyguard may also be needed.<o:p></o:p></p>
