QUESTER JOYSTICK

Product Description

Quester  Joystick

  is  a  compact  USB  joystick 

specifically designed for PC gaming where WASD 

and Arrow Key navigation are used. Gaming is an 

uplifting  experience  for  many  disabled  users 

-  it  is  instantly  engaging  for  many  and  also 

offers the benefit of being able to be part of a 

community  shared  by  disabled  and  able-bodied 

gamers alike. 

Quester  Joystick

  has  been  developed  by 

Pretorian to address access needs in PC gaming 

and,  along  with  Quester  Switchbox,  forms 

an  essential  part  of  the  assistive  PC  gaming 

ecosystem.  It  operates  in  one  of  the  following 

three modes and changing between them may be 

easily  achieved  either  using  the  middle  button 

or  a  switch  plugged  into  the  right-hand  3.5mm 

jack socket: 
• 

Mouse Mode

• 

WASD Mode

• 

Arrow Key Mode 

For  more  streamlined  play,  one  of  these  modes 

may  be  disabled  if  not  required,  allowing  the 

mode button/switch to shuttle between any two 

modes with a single press.

A  gaming  user  may  either  shuttle  between 

modes,  or  two  units  may  be  plugged  into  the 

PC to allow both to be operated simultaneously 

–  for  example  one  could  be  set  permanently  to 

WASD  and  one  could  be  permanently  in  Mouse 

mode.  Alternatively,  one 

Quester  Joystick

  and 

Quester  Switchbox

  when  used  together  can 

provide some powerful gaming features.
Diagonal  movement  is  enabled  by  default  but 

may be turned off if not required. The two outer 

buttons  on 

Quester  Joystick

  always  operate 

as  Left  Click  and  Right  Click  no  matter  what 

mode is set. The two 3.5mm switch sockets may 

be  configured  in  Learn  Mode  to  function  in  a 

variety of different ways.
Learn  Mode  also  allows  the  joystick  to  be 

configured  for  left-handed  operation,  the 

cursor speed to be changed when used in mouse 

mode, and the buzzer to be enabled or disabled, 

as  required.  All  Learn  Mode  settings  are  saved 

in  onboard  memory  and  recalled  each  time 

the  joystick  is  powered  on,  meaning  that  the 

settings  stay  with  the  joystick  no  matter  what 

device they are plugged into.
As with all Pretorian products, 

Quester Joystick

 

requires no drivers- simply plug and play!
