Air Mouse

TREWGrip uses an accelerometer and gyroscope to control mouse movement, and can be configured for absolute movement (default) and relative movement (required for Android devices and multiple monitors).

To toggle absolute/relative movement:

  • 1. Press the Func key
  • 2. Press the Backspace key

When configured for absolute movement, the mouse pointer will need to be centered (or calibrated) to a neutral position while holding TREWGrip. Please note that the neutral position will change based on how you are using TREWGrip (standing/sitting).

  • 2. Hold TREWGrip in a neutral position (comfortable position)
  • 3. Press the Enter key

Docking Plates

Small and large docking plates, with adhesive backing, are included for docking a smartphone, phablet or mini-tablet onto TREWGrip. Adhere the small docking plate to your smartphone, and large docking plate to your phablet or mini-tablet.

Important: after adhering a docking plate to your smartphone, phablet or tablet, please wait 24-hours before docking your device onto TREWGrip. This will give the adhesive sufficient time to cure. If your device is in a case, please note that the case will affect how securely your device is docked onto TREWGrip. We strongly recommend that you test how secure your device is docked, using a soft surface like a pillow, before routine use. If you have any questions, please contact TREWGrip Support.
