6. (November

511-519.An
assessment of
non-keyboard
input devices
(NKID) was
conducted to
identify
factors for
good design in
relation to
operation,
performance
and comfort.
Twenty-seven
NKID users,
working in
health and
safety,
evaluated
eight devices
that included
mice,
trackballs and
a joystick
mouse. The
factors
considered
important for
good design
were: (1)
comfortable
hand and
finger
position, (2)
adequate
control, (3)
intuitive and
easy to use,
(4) ease of
device, button
and trackball
movement, (5)
good
interaction
with software,
(6) provision
of suitable
accessories.
Mice were
rated more
favourably
than
trackballs or
the joystick
mouse. The
design of the
standard
2-button mouse
(D4) was
considered
most desirable
to use; the
3-button mouse
(D1) and
3-button
curved mouse
(D8) were also
favoured.
Assessment
data and
comments were
drawn together
with
previously
published
research to
produce useful
tools for NKID
purchasing
(i.e. Device
Purchasing
Checklist) and
assessment
(i.e. Device
Assessment
Checklist).Val

(November

1022-1030.This
research
employed a
descriptive
case study
design to
compare
subjects'
performance
using three
computer input
devices: the
Tongue Touch
Keypad, the
HeadMaster,
and the
mouthstick.
The sample
consisted of
four students
with severe
physical
disabilities
enrolled in an
adaptive
computer class
at a community
college.
Components of
performance
examined were
input speed,
accuracy, and
level of
perceived
exertion.
Subjects'
acceptance of
each of the
interface
devices was
also examined.
Results showed
input speed to
be the fastest
with the
mouthstick,
followed by
the HeadMaster
and then the
Tongue Touch
Keypad.
Accuracy of
input did not
vary
significantly.
Three subjects
rated the
Tongue Touch
Keypad as
requiring the
lowest rate of
perceived
exertion,
followed by
the HeadMaster
and then the
mouthstick.
Overall
performance
did not
necessarily
affect
subjects'
acceptability
ratings of the
devices.
Information
from this
study will
assist
therapists in
evaluating the
effectiveness
and
desirability
of computer
interface
devices for
patients.C
