ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Footmouse

Okay kiddo, have you ever seen someone using a computer with a mouse? It's a little device that you move around on a table and it helps you control the computer. Well, sometimes people can't use their hands but still want to use a mouse. That's where a footmouse comes in!

A footmouse is just like a regular computer mouse, but you use your feet to control it instead of your hands. It's perfect for people who have injuries or disabilities that make it hard for them to use their hands.

The footmouse is usually a little box that sits on the floor and has buttons on top that you can press with your feet. You move your foot around on a surface, like a special pad, and that tells the computer where you want the mouse pointer to go.

So instead of using your hand to move the mouse, you use your foot. It's like having a little pet that you can control with your toes!

The footmouse can be a really helpful tool for people who need it, because it lets them stay independent and use their computer on their own.
