BLUELINE Joystick

Product Description

BLUELINE

  is  a  compact  desktop  Bluetooth  Joystick 

allowing direct wireless connection to any computer or 
tablet that has built-in Bluetooth and supports mouse 
connectivity.  Ideal  for  connection  to  iPad  or  iPhone 
using  iOS  Assistive  Touch  to  give  precise  cursor 
movement  without  the  need  for  fine  motor  skills, 

BLUELINE

  also  allows  easy  connection  to  Android 

devices  and  desktop  computers  that  either  have 
Bluetooth or may be fitted with a Bluetooth dongle.

BLUELINE

  includes  three  recessed  buttons  and 

two  sockets  for  external  switches,  all  of  which  can 
be  individually  configured  according  to  the  user’s 
precise  needs.  The  unit  also  supports  four  cursor 
speed  settings  which  may  be  changed  by  the  user. 
Other  button  options  include  swipe  left  and  swipe 
right, which are ideal for page turning, in addition to 
drag-lock and dwell-click features.

All programmable features are stored in non-volatile 
memory  and  are  automatically  recalled  each  time 
the unit is used, irrespective of the device it is used 
on.  This  allows  the  joystick  to  be  configured  for 
a  particular  user  without  needing  access  to  their 
device, which is of particular value to OT Centres with 
remote clients.

BLUELINE

 has a built-in rechargeable lithium battery 

which typically gives 15 hours of constant use between 
charges. In practice the time between charges is likely 
to  be  several  days,  depending  on  use.  The  unit  is 
supplied with a charger cable which works via any USB 
socket and can continue to be used while charging.

Dimensions  18  x  10  x  12cm.  Supplied  with  three 
interchangeable knobs (acorn, T-Bar and soft-ball).
