Differences between the Original and FPS models:
The joystick module in the Original model is the same part used in ordinary game
controllers connected to an aluminum rod to which the mouthpiece is attached. An extra
spring is used to help hold up the weight of the mouthpiece and Lip button assembly and
stiffen the movement.
In the FPS model, a larger and stiffer joystick module is used. The centering mechanism
is different and provides a more definite feel to the center position.
The FPS model requires more strength in the user’s lips to move. While not an issue for
someone with a spinal cord injury, a user with a disability that affects the strength of the
muscles in their lips would be better suited for the Original model. In the Original model,
the spring and lip button assembly can be removed for users that have difficulty moving
the joystick, giving it a very light feel. This is not an option with the FPS model.
