Software to replace keyboards?
Triggerfinger has developed software that turns any game controller into a replacement for a keyboard/mouse for a media PC, laptop/mobile and Game Console. The software was developed to provide freedom from the onscreen or QWERTY keyboard found on most computers and the use of a hand held input device eliminates these problems by putting the keyboard/mouse in the palm of your hand. Experts in Human Factors think the acceptable threshold for text input is 15 wpm. Triggerfinger research shows an inexperienced user with an hour of instruction on a Triggerfinger-enabled device exceeds this established base line.

Triggerfinger Software works across various platforms - a smart phone enabled with Triggerfinger Software eliminates the need for a mini qwerty keyboard and 12 button keypad. Game equipment manufacturers such as Logitech and Thrustmaster have invested considerable resources to improve the gaming experience. Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo have new consoles that make gaming more enjoyable for even the casual player. Triggerfinger Software elevates these products to an even higher level of useful operation.

Media PC
The benefits of using Triggerfinger Software in home with a media PC are numerous. A home owner is able to consolidate the TV remote, keyboard/mouse for internet navigation, and game console hardware requirements with a Triggerfinger enabled game controller. This provides a cost savings as well as the elimination of electronic gear that messes up mom’s living room.
