Description
Anyone who drives a powered wheelchair has already trained a precise, reliable gesture on their own joystick. Joy-Access lets that skill be reused to control the pointer, instead of learning a new device from scratch.
The adapter accepts standard analogue joysticks, long-lever industrial joysticks and the auxiliary outputs of several wheelchair controllers. Dead zones, response curve and maximum speed are set from a configuration panel, and the profiles live in the device's own memory: plug it into another computer and the settings are already right.
Four extra jack inputs let you assign clicks to external switches.
Who it is for
People who already control a joystick well — for instance the one on their own powered wheelchair.
