Hi Neil

 

You are right in that we don't have a heavy duty joystick at PG, however, you might want to check out the attachment from a US company called Stealth Products.

We've used it with our controllers quite a bit & with the shape it is pretty robust & difficult to break. Pricey, though!

Hi,

 

I'm investigating both a switched (probably) and a Heavy Duty (definitely) power joystick alternative to the Dynamics DX-RJM-HD. The Dynamics Tray Remote could be heavyish duty, but not switched. The Meru Moozi is switched, but is it heavy duty and is it adult appropriate? HMC don't have one to help and I don't think there is a PandG Drives alternative.

 

Has anyone some other ideas to help?

 

Many thanks,

Thanks John. I think I’m at the other end of the robustness/gross movement spectrum than this, but good to know anyway.
