Review on πŸ’» Tap Strap 2 - Advanced Wearable Keyboard, Mouse & Air Gesture Controller (Large) by Julie Lewis

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Beautiful but not desktop adaptable

I had a stroke and my right hand can't use a regular keyboard and mouse. I didn't buy this so much to replace typing, but for an interface to use with my bad hand, which is also my main hand. So I can't talk about typing skills, but I can talk about my experiences. First off, this thing is great for what I wanted it for. This allows me to use it as a mouse much more comfortably than before. I can't even use my right hand with a real mouse, but I can use this one. I can also use it as a game controller by setting it up for WASD games. Basically, it allows me to have two hands again. Now for the bad news: you basically have to set this up with your phone app! That's a crazy decision that, as someone who's worked as a product owner for a start-up company, I can't understand. I mean some people might use this to interact with their phone but. Most people? It's so good on a desktop and awkward on a phone that it confuses me. Therefore, to set it up, I have to keep pairing it with my PC, unpairing it and pairing it with my phone, and then repeating to get the correct settings. This is REALLY annoying. They took expensive, good equipment and made it very difficult to set up. I use it as is because my arm isn't working properly and it's REALLY hard to set up. Otherwise it looks good and serves its purpose.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Big and bulky
