Hi Amy-

Does he have the ability to use 3 switches?

An idea for a possible hardware solution...

There are 5 programmable switch jacks.

If you had sticky keys on, you could use one switch to active "Ctrl +)"  (Zoom in), and the other switch to activate "Ctrl -)  (zoom out).

Or, you could use software to program your function keys so that the F6 key (for example) is zoom in, and the F7 key is zoom out.

Keep in mind, when you zoom in on the internet, it's going to start cutting off the bottom of the screen...

Take care,

Hi,
I am evaluating a patient who will be using eye tracking but much prefers a switch to dwell.  When he goes out on the internet he does not want to switch to dwell but he does want to be able to use a zoom feature to get to smaller items.  I can find systems that zoom but they all use dwell selection.  Anyone know of a software on any SGD with can utilize zoom for computer controls with a switch?
