Not many people in electric wheelchairs think of their joystick and what they can do.

Not many people know this, but a joystick is not just called a joystick; its actual name is a joystick module, and different types of it do other things.

There’s a simple module where you do basic things like drive, turn on or off, and adjust the speed.

Another one is where if you have lights on your electric wheelchair, in addition to having all the general buttons, you also have ones for headlights, turn signals, and hazard lights.

There are also ones where you can connect to Bluetooth.

Every wheelchair company has an LED screen joystick module; you must ask for it.

All joystick modules have horns, but they’re not like the horns of a vehicle; they’re soft-sounding horns. They also tell you the battery percentage of the wheelchair as well.

The best thing you can do is to ask your wheelchair vendor about what type of joystick module choice you have. You could also google it or even search on YouTube.

Be aware that insurance companies do not cover some joystick modules.

You could think of a joystick module because it controls the functions of the electric wheelchair.
