I could make that on my lathe in about 4 minutes. From a bit of black PTFE or similar offcut. If I wasnt stuck on this bed I would do you one for free and post it. How can they charge 67 dollars plus shipping for that?

Would be for me! Couldnt drive a chair with that fitted to save my life! But I know what you mean.

Thats the main reason people cannot control a chair well, and why they need the manufactuers delayed action unsteerable programming. If you have your hand cupping the side of the controller as a reference point and steer with the finger/thumb you can have the programming configured in a way that makes the chair do *exactly* as told. And if not you just cannot! Yes that may not be possible for everyone. Esp if the joystick is too low and too outboard. And if you dont have good normal hand function. But it is the only way it works properly with linear real time proportional programming.

So there are smaller joystick options.

The problem comes when you have many seating options and menus. If its not going to take a week to guess what does what and whats going on next you NEED a fancy screen. And you need the newest one as its the only one that you can see outdoors in daylight properly.
I have 5 power functions. So 10 options/directions. And having a picture of the chair with the appropriet bit lit and arrows helps enormously.
