If you want to operate the Micro Joystick with your hand or fingers, ensure that the arm, wrist and hand are supported and that the joystick is mounted optimally. The joystick placement must be precise because the user generally has minimal movement. The joystick can be integrated into a tray or mounted anywhere else for easy access (e.g. below the armrest).
The Micro Joystick can also be mounted on a swing-away arm or harness for chin, lip or tongue control. However, controlling such a sensitive joystick with the chin can be challenging, especially in rough terrain. The Multi Joystick may be better suited for some cases.
