The Tough Joystick is a heavy duty switched joystick (with 4 or 8 directions) and built in mode switch. It can also be used in conjunction with other switched controls if the user can only activate in one or two directions. Ideal for someone with high tone that can put their equipment to the test.
The Switch It Proportional Head Control is a 3 direction proportional joystick integrated into a headpad that can be toggled between forward/left/right and reverse/left/right set-up either through mode/reverse switch or a quick tap of the backpad, depending on the chair electronics.
The Switch It JSC is a full direction joystick in a very small housing for alternative mounting solutions such as for chin control, tray, or foot control.
The standard 3 proximity switch head array has a monojack for a mechanical switch for mode. An additional proximity switch can be added for mode, or two additional proximity switches can be added for dedicated mode and dedicated reverse.
A combination of Sip and Puff Head Array helps eliminate the issues sometimes associated with pure Sip and Puff drive control. By not having to differentiate between a hard and soft sip or puff for four directions, the user can do any level of sip or puff for forward and reverse and use a slight roll of the head for left and right, allowing much better control and veering. We also offer our Opti-Stop fiber optic switch attached to the straw as a standard feature as an essential safety component of a Sip and Puff system. The chair will automatically stop if the switch and straw come away from the driver’s mouth.
