JAZZ Joystick

Product Description

A  compact,  desktop  joystick  specifically 

designed  to  allow  users  who  lack  fine  motor 

skills to easily achieve both cursor control and 

switch scanning. The 

JAZZ Joystick

 is designed 

to  respond  to  gross  movements  while  still 

achieving fine cursor positioning and accurate 

switch  scanning.  Uniquely,  this  is  achieved 

using  Pretorian’s  renowned  analogue  joystick 

which requires very low operating forces (0.5N) 

and not a switch joystick, which typically have 

high operating forces.

JAZZ Joystick

 is suitable both for controlling a 

cursor and also for switch scanning, particularly 

in  grid  based  AAC  devices  such  as  Gridpad 

from Smartbox* and allows the user to switch 

seamlessly between cursor control and switch 

scanning where required.
