Hi Barry,

Does it have to be a proportional joystick? Because there all sorts of low profile solutions possible if you go for a switch based one.

        Good Friday afternoon all

        I'm looking for a low profile proportional joystick for wheelchair driving.
         Low profile because it has to swing in to the midline over a keyboard.
         All the standard remotes are too high.  Farnell sell a non-contact
        joystick which is 32mm below the panel - this might be small enough, but I
        don't know whether it could be used to patch in to a P&G or Dynamics box.
         Does anyone know more than this?  or is there another solution that I
        haven't thought of?
