đ Customer Setup Spotlight đ
Ever struggled to find a simple, safe way to put your computer to sleepâwithout turning it off or unplugging your USB devices? Wojciech Kiersnowski faced this exact challenge with his HeadMouse/Breeze setup on a Mac.
The Challenge:
Putting the computer to sleep without having to unplug devices or shut everything down every time.
The Solution:
A USB power switch! By adding this between the computer and the HeadMouse/Breeze, our user can easily cut power to the devicesâno unplugging required.
Hereâs how it works:
At night or before a break, they:
- Click âSleepâ on the Mac.
- Move the reflective dot out of the screen area (so HeadMouse stops sending signals).
- Let the Mac go to sleep.
- Flip the USB power switchâdevices turn off safely.
In the morning:
- Flip the USB switch back on.
- Turn toward the screenâMac wakes up, ready to go!
While a second person is needed to operate the switch, this method is much safer and more convenient than unplugging cables or shutting down daily.
đĄ Sometimes, the simplest solutions make the biggest difference!

Dragger for Kids! is an excellent feature that enables basic functionality while hiding some of the more in-depth features. Itâs perfect for those curious minds that may accidentally change the configuration.
Dragger toolbar falling outside of the monitor view? Configuring the toolbar to Keep Dragger On Desktop will solve this problem.
Ensure the full on-screen keyboard is always available with the Always On Top option in the View menu. SofType can also easily be moved from the top to the bottom (or vice versa) of the screen with one click of the Move option also found in the View menu.
Releasing the activation code before moving Dragger to another computer or reformatting your hard drive is an important step in maintaining the program's operability. When releasing the activation code, you then can activate using that same code on your new computer or your new hard drive.
