This HUD and script is intended for the Ferret Head by Paws.
https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Paws-Ferret-Head-Boxed/7030066

It allows you to manually set the state for your eyes/jaw independently.
A very simple 3-step installation process is included in the instructions.

.

Blinking still works as long as the eyes are in the default (most open) state.
Your eyes will not blink if they are partially lidded or closed!

Jaw movement while typing now completely disabled.
I chose to do this because I personally didn't like it.

.

P.S.
The HUD itself is literally just an array of untextured boxes. (6 buttons per eyes/jaw, 12 total)
I am not an artist, so if anyone would like to design a better interface, contact me!

Usable, but you have to work around the maker's biases.

In order to preserve mouth movement when typing, you need to ignore the creator's instructions and leave the Muzzle script in place. This means that when you begin typing, that script will notice and begin moving the muzzle. It will, however, return the muzzle to 'zero' (mouth fully closed) when you finish. I suppose someone knowledgeable could try to code a toggle for each state to return to it when typing ceases, but if that was us, we wouldn't be buying someone else's controller.
The eyeblink in my experience only works when the eyes are wide open. If you choose some other setting, it doesn't blink.
Basically, it's a crude override that you have to jack around with because the creator doesn't want you to be able to do something they dislike.
When it comes down to it, you get what you pay for.

Barely even worth L$50

No blink or talk-while-typing toggles, two things that ought to be considered a bare minimum requirement for head controllers - meaning if you use this, because the maker personally doesn't like the talk feature, you cannot have that option at all without swapping your head.

Options are laughably limited as well. The only reason to get this is that there is literally no alternative, but even that doesn't feel like a good reason.

The mouth works okay, but the eyes reset once the next blink state starts...
