Competitor Breakdown
More Than Just A Mouse
The Advantage is in the Software
SmartNav uses only about 3% of your computer processing to track and accurately place the cursor. Competitors need to put all the "smarts" in the device. This leads to costly, power-hungry large devices.
With software processing on your computer you get the benefits of a flexible solution. Upgradable and fully customizable.
You can be confident that the SmartNav will work in the most challenging environments. SmartNav is designed to be a full computer control solution, perfect for demanding applications like graphic design, and reliable in any lighting environment. With an industry leading price point and the most advanced feature set available, the SmartNav cursor control solution stands above the rest.
