I've only had this head mouse for about a week but wanted to write a review since I was on the fence about it for a long time, and hope this helps anyone in my position.
I've had pretty bad tendonitis / carpal tunnel syndrome for about a year and have tried multiple ergonomic mice but they all start to hurt in some way or other. Finally bit the bullet to buy this head mouse and it has helped tremendously.
Pros:
- Connects via bluetooth and works out of the box
- Is quite responsive and intuitive. Has a "sticky" feature on the cursor so that it's easy to hover over something to click on it
- Long lasting battery life. It will go to sleep if you set it down but will wake back up pretty quickly
Cons--this list is going to seem long but these are just things I wish could be improved, and doesn't really deter me from using this mouse.
- The actual glasses are really small. I think I have an average-sized head but these are super tight on my temples. I have to take the glasses off when I for sure won't be needing the mouse, like right now as I'm typing, otherwise it is exhausting and will cause a headache.
- You need other hardware to click. Luckily I already have a foot pedal which I programmed as the left click. I plan to get another to scroll and right click. I was already using foot pedals for other keys due to my wrist injuries so I'm used to this, but as other people have commented, it is kind of ridiculous to have to buy so many extra accessories for a $600+ mouse. I know you can also buy the Dwell software but I haven't tried it. The GlassOuse website has other accessories you can purchase.
- Every time you restart your computer, you have to remove the device from your bluetooth connection, then re-connect it. I've tried everything but there's no way to avoid it. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong.
This is the foot pedal that I have that works well with this

If you are on the fence about this, there is a similar software called SmyleMouse, which works the same with no physical hardware needed. It tracks your face movements and that is how you move the cursor, and all you have to do is smile to click. I had my doubts but it was quite intuitive, so I recommend that first to see if you like it. The license is slightly less expensive than this head mouse. They have a free 2-week trial that I recommend to see if a head mouse works for you. Unfortunately the software would not download on my work computer, and my company is quite strict, so I decided to buy the GlassOuse instead since it is pretty plug-and-play and requires no other software.
I'm not paid for either of these devices but I've struggled so hard to find a solution to continue working despite my injuries, so wanted to write this in case it helps anyone else. Good luck out there everyone!
Update one month later:
Somehow the Bluetooth connection re-connects now upon waking up, but is still problematic when switching devices. I don't do this often, but you'd have to remove it from your Bluetooth devices and reconnect it.
The battery always says it is at 100% but it is obviously not, and doesn't last "months" like the manual suggests, more like 1-2 weeks, which is still impressive.
Someone asked if this was pretty accurate, and I'd say yes. I do graphic design so this helps a lot with limiting my hand usage. I doubt you can illustrate with it but minimal design work is possible. Disclaimer that I don't have any other physical ailments other than my wrist injuries and have full use of my neck though.
