Please note I am not asking for Joystick to mouse (which Google simply refuses to understand).

I am looking for software as a short term option for a client with ALS. She is awaiting funding for an eyegaze system.

She can use a mouse but extremely limited for range and speed. So I would like the following which used to be sold as part of the infogrip pointsmart software. I believe this is no longer available. Anyone know of anything similar? Low budget would be good.

“PointSmart also includes Automatic Direction Control. This feature allows the user to touch or bump their pointing device in the direction they wish the cursor to move and PointSmart does the rest. The cursor will continue to move until the mouse is touched again and then it will stop. This feature is excellent for users that have very limited movement.”

Thanks and sorry for cross post, Ed
