Multi-Operation Wheelchair Joysticks

Wheelchair joysticks are used to move motorized wheelchairs without the need for human effort. They are connected to the motors and are used to control the movement direction of the wheelchair. Other controlling movement of the wheelchair alone, recent developments in wheelchair joysticks have enabled it to be used in multiple devices. For instance the Genie joystick has been designed not only to move the wheelchair about, but also to be connected to devices such as a computer mouse or operate communication devices.

Perhaps one of the most unique features of the Genie wheel chair joystick is the ease of use it has been designed for. Just with the flick of a button, the user will be able to switch between different operative modes without any complicated menus. The chair joystick is fitted with an infra-red transmitter which helps to connect it to a computer mouse.

Apart from that, this joystick contains an on-screen keyboard that lets you type any text directly from the panel. There are also many mobility functions included in the panel, such as the Driving Mode and the Seat Function Mode. Additionally, this wheel chair joy stick can be operated using a switch mode only, or a switch and joystick mode.

Finally, it comes with a DX Power Module that enables it to be connected to many types of wheelchairs. Therefore, this function adds to the adaptability of the joystick.

Whenever wheel chair joysticks are faulty, there are a range of spare parts that can be purchased to replace them. These would include the joystick ball, joystick knob, brake tip, T-bar and U-bar extension handles. With this, users of wheelchairs operated with joysticks will not have to worry much about obtaining the necessary replacement parts.
