USB
Joysticks

Features

Joysticks give users the ability to control a power chair, computer or some other form of technology, but dexterity can sometimes hinder their accessibility. Everyone has a different range of dexterity and therefore one type of joystick would not suit everyone. In order to create an ergonomic user experience, these joysticks have multiple options to fit the hand or foot of the user better. Click an icon below to see the other handles.

Plug and Play

These Joysticks require no extra software to operate assistive devices like computers. Simply plug them in and they are ready to use. Depending on your wheelchair, some additional circuitry may be required to provide steering capability.

Goalpost Handle

The goalpost handle cradles the user's hand without making them actively grasp anything. The hand can remain fully open and relaxed while maintaining control over the device.

Ball Handle

The ball handle is a slightly larger object for the user to grasp. Thus, the user's hand is not restricted to a fully closed position during use.

Standard Handle

The standard handle is a smaller object for the user to hold. If the user is more comfortable with closed or pinching hands, this handle would best fit their needs.

T-Bar Handle

The standard handle is a smaller object for the user to hold. If the user is more comfortable with closed or pinching hands, this handle would best fit their needs.

Lift and Lock

Tube and Socket

Mounting

USB Joysticks can be mounted to a power chair easily with either the Tube and Socket system or the Lift and Lock system. Each system works well with a joystick and offer their own specific benefits and features. In order to mount to either of these systems a device is required to give the system something to hold onto.

In the case of the Tube and Socket system, we offer a switch plate that takes three screws to attach to the bottom of the joystick. This switch plate will fit into the socket end of a Tube and Socket and can be locked in place.

If the Lift and Lock system is preferred, a wedge must be screwed to the bottom of the joystick. This will allow the joystick to click into the Wedge Receiver of the Lift and Lock system.
