Tap Strap 2, Bluetooth (Large) Compatible with iPad

I have ordered 2 straps. The first one arrived and worked for the test run so I put it away and charged it. When I pulled it out of the charging case to actually try the device it just vibrates for an extended period of time and only had the thumb tap (all other fingers no longer worked) I contacted the company and they are sending out a replacement. I decided to just order another one because the initial set up felt amazing and I figured why not have 2 in case this situation happens again. Well, immediately out of the box this strap didn’t work and did the same vibration as the first strap. I am currently waiting on the replacement to see if this is just going to be an ongoing thing. I will be sending back this second strap because you can’t depend on this item especially at that price! I will update when I receive my replacement. **UPDATE** The company was very quick to replace the non working Tap strap 2. The replacement they sent has worked beautifully. I have updated to 5 stars mainly because of the company being willing to work with me and exchange the item for a working item. The Tap strap itself gets a 4 star review, because sometimes it doesn’t register when making the exact finger gestures. I am missing some finger and hand functions from being c6/7 quadriplegic so there are actual gestures I’m unable to do, but there are ways to create gestures that work with your abilities. I’d say it’s not really disability friendly. It is extremely fun to learn though. I think there are pros for different people in different situations. I was mainly getting it thinking I could use it with my tablet so I’m not dropping my mouse constantly, but like I said it’s not really disability friendly. It’s more of a physical therapy game at the time and I think it is a great item when working properly. My conclusion is to purchase from the company themselves because all the straps I’ve ordered from here have not functioned properly.

Although the delivery was delayed, communication from seller was very proper and product is very good.

TLDR: You can type on a keyboard and move a mouse using gestures via sensors only you can't see either of them. Keyboard can make sense if you had one for both hands, otherwise I'm confused. Mouse function is pretty much a gimmick. It's not a hands-free mouse, you still need a surface to use it. You can map gestures via the app supposedly - I havn't tested the app. If you want a wireless mouse option just buy a bluetooth mouse and keyboard combo. A few of those keyboards can fold up nowadays as well. ------------------ My initial idea was to use this alongside a Vufine display so I could use a keyboard and mouse function hands-free. The Tap-Strap overall feels good. It's lightweight and responsive just it takes time to get used to. There is supposedly an application you can download for it. I didn't download it myself but you're supposedly able to remap the functions of the sensors and create shortcuts depending on the task. The mouse system is a thumb sensor you have to move atop a surface to use. Ideally you're supposed to move your hand as if you were holding a mouse. In practice I just don't thing it's a good system. I would have preferred a thumb-controlled ball or something else. I don't really know who this was designed for, to be honest. I guess the gesture control works fine for keyboards. I just feel the system is too bare for what it's aiming to solve.

I found the product to be great, the combination of mouse/air mouse and keyboard unified is what I was looking for, even though it is the version before the last one! I am gaining skill in just one day and I trust that with some perseverance, in one or two weeks I will be able to use it on a daily basis as was my goal (in my Viture Pro XR glasses setup & Neckband to work remotely). And the applications they made to gain skill are perfect, combining small challenges helps to gain practice and learn how to use the product. Very well thought out! But... in less than an hour, and despite the fact that I am extremely careful and followed the instructions in detail by opening each ring previously, etc., one of the lower finger supports had already broken. After a while, another one. I regretted having doubted the technology and not having bought the new one bracelet that does not depend on rings, when I saw this inconvenience I looked for reviews and found that many ended up modifying it by hand since otherwise the rings do not stay in place and lose sensitivity. They are really nice and it's a shame to have to modify them at home but I guess there is no other way to give them such a practical use.

I was very excited to get my hands on the tap strap 2, but every step of the process is riddled with unreliable apps, annoying settings, and ergonomics that are out performed by an Adzerd Smart Ring for 20 bucks. Starting with the app, the app is by far the worst part of this experience as it disconnects frequently, and once disconnected you must either completely clear the app data from your device or you uninstall and reinstall it to reestablish connection. And you NEED the app to change your settings, which are also compromised. The settings allow you to configure multiple presets and switch between them witch is nice as it is just a wearable keyboard and mouse on your hands. But the device is soo sensitive that inputs will execute accidentally frequently. This can be mitigated by setting all commands to 2 - 3 taps, but not only can the switch commands not be switched as they are locked by the manufacturer, but they are also 1 tap. Meaning you might accidentally switch your settings and have to constantly try to set them back to your custom configuration. Ultimately i expected this device to allow me to multitask and execute commands while my hands are occupied, but if you don't have a stable surface to tap or something in your hand, the tap accuracy significantly drops, and you won't be able to instinctively operate this device without having to troubleshoot every time you use it. Again the Adzerd ring is what i wanted this device to replace. Its accurate, doesn't need an app or presets, doesn't need a specific surface to operate and can be used even while typing. I'm turning my music on and scrolling through tiktok as i type this, yea good luck doing that with the tap strap 2. Also the mouse feature is clunky and annoying to use too, but of course it is lol.
