Exact model / identifierAbleNet TrackerPro 2 head-tracking mouse.
Mechanism and primary specificationsUSB-connected optical sensor tracks a reflective marker worn on the user’s head; two switch sockets can provide left- and right-click actions. Manufacturer quick-start instructions specify a working position about 12–36 inches (30–91 cm) from the tracker.
Host interface and compatibilityUSB Type-A host connection; product instructions describe use with Windows, macOS, and ChromeOS computers. Dwell selection can use supported OS accessibility features or separate compatible software.
Revision identificationRecord marker style/placement, distance, cursor-speed switch position, host OS, and whether the click jacks or dwell access are used.

Compatibility, setup & limitations

  • Requires a visible reflective marker and suitable line of sight; glare, marker displacement, sensor placement, or excessive distance can interrupt tracking.
  • Movement controls the cursor, while selection and dragging need the switch jacks, dwell access, or another compatible method. This is not a complete hands-free workflow until clicking and typing are configured.
  • Although USB mouse input is broadly compatible, the manufacturer’s tested OS list and current access-software support should be checked before deployment on a new computer.
  • Positioning and cursor speed require individual setup; the guide’s nominal sensor distance is not a substitute for confirming full screen reach and comfortable controlled movement.

Preservation and service

Keep reflective markers, USB lead, mount, and switch adapters together. Clean the sensor window and inspect the cable before changing hardware settings.

Record a known-good marker position, user distance, speed setting, and click method; repeat calibration after moving the sensor or display.
