So you can both look smart and go where you want by thought. Might not be very accurate!

MUCH of this battle is placing the joystick and housing in the CORRECT place for natural user comfort and control.

As to position, I've mounted joysticks to allow use by elbow, knee, foot, head, amputee stub, just about any moving body part, that has good, reliable control.
I found, especially with kids, directly in front of them often works well.
I think it would be more common with adults, except we usually have "stuff" on our laps.
One problem with midline mounting is the need to move it for transfers, and personal cares, then get it back in the exact same place, repeatedly.
In my experience, it is difficult to control a joystick that isn't fastened in one place, regardless of where it is mounted.
