Joysticks

Switch-It offers many options for proportional joysticks. Clients who have very limited range of movement and/or strength can benefit from the proportional zero-throw, force-based MicroPilot. Whether mounted at the end of the armrest on a midline mount or as a chin control, the VersaGuide and VersaGuide EZ offer clients full control in compact form.
