Keyboard

Supported. This includes use of the on-screen keyboard to enter text in ENGAGE and to move your avatar. By default, there is a repeated clicking sound when you hold down WASD or arrow keys to move around, but you can turn the click off in the keyboard's options.

Mouse

Use of mouse keys is partially supported. You can use the numeric keypad as an alternative to the mouse in all ENGAGE menus. However, you can't use the numeric keypad to look around in a Session. For information about how to add additional keyboard controls, see Adding hotkey controls to turn your avatar.

Eye control

Not tested.

The ENGAGE application may be compatible with third-party accessibility tools that you already use. For example, you can use most accessibility tools that simulate mouse or keyboard input. For more information about the use of third-party accessibility tools, see:
