Professional guidance helps The LipStick is simple hardware, but it's a mouth-controlled input device where position, comfort, and fit matter a lot. A therapist or ATP can help choose it, place it safely, and set up training, which makes a big difference in results. Since it can't be returned, getting advice before buying is a good idea.

What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026

The LipStick is a mouth-operated computer mouse. A small stick that senses force moves the cursor as you make small mouth movements, and two lip-sensing pads handle left and right clicks, so there's no sipping or puffing. It's built for someone who can't use their hands for a mouse and may not be able to use a sip-and-puff system, including people on respirators. The tip is closed to keep saliva out and make cleaning easier, and the aluminium housing is made for daily use. A table mount is sold separately, so plan for how you'll position it. Also, the product is non-returnable, so it's worth trying the approach before you buy.

What setup looks like

  • Out of the box
    Plug the LipStick into the computer and check that the cursor responds to small mouth movements.
  • With a guide
    1. Set up a mount (the adjustable table mount is sold separately) so the stick sits where the user's mouth can reach it comfortably.
    2. Practice cursor control and lip clicks, and adjust the computer's pointer speed settings. Allow about 30-60 minutes for the first session. See manufacturer support resources for detailed instructions.
  • With professional help
    An OT or ATP can help judge whether mouth control is a good fit, find a safe and comfortable mounting position, and plan training. Plan on one or more sessions, since this is a non-returnable purchase.
