The objective of the study is to design an alternative mouse for persons with hand disability. It is composed of microcontroller and sensor pad. Sensor pad consist of commonly used shortcut keys and four arrow keys. Sensor pad will determine which of the shortcut and arrow keys where pressed. The microcontroller processes the input coming from the sensor pad and it outputs the cursor’s navigation on the laptop screen. The design had undergone the process of review, validation and verification. Based from the results, the difference of the test value and critical value is 0.0001, which is considered as a part of critical region shows that there is no significant difference between the foot-controlled and hand-controlled mouse.
