Specialty Controls

While there are other game controller housings embedded with wheelchair joysticks, this unique product takes an existing Playstation 2 controller and converts its commands (whether its the analog joysticks or the directional or action pads) into signals that the wheelchair electronics understand in order to drive the chair or control other chair functions. This allows a user that is familiar with the exact feel and movement of a standard game controller to operate their powerchair. We can customize the various buttons for specific functions upon the client’s needs/request.

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.

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.
