Typical price range, not a vendor quote. Confirm it with the vendor before buying.

Setup with instructions The joystick is plug and play, and a family member can get it working in a short session. Guided setup fits because there are choices to make: which of the three handles works best, which cursor speed to use, and whether to add switches for clicking. Using it with an iPad or iPhone may also mean turning on Switch Control. Written instructions are enough for this; a professional is not required.

What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026

The OPTIMAX Wireless Joystick lets someone steer a computer or tablet cursor with a light touch, without needing a mouse grip or a cable. It comes with three interchangeable handles, so you can try different shapes to find one that suits the person's hand and control. It has four cursor speed settings and a low, wide base that gives the hand a natural rest and keeps the unit steady. The buttons are recessed so they are hard to press by accident, and there are sockets for plugging in external left and right click switches. The wireless range is over 10 metres, and the joystick works with PC, Mac, iPadOS and iOS.

What setup looks like

  • Out of the box
    Plug the receiver unit into your computer or tablet. The 9V battery is included for the joystick.
  • With a guide
    1. Try each of the three handles and pick the one that is most comfortable and easy to control.
    2. Choose a cursor speed from the four settings, and adjust it after a few days of use if needed.
    3. If the person will use external switches for clicking, plug them into the receiver's switch sockets. On an iPad or iPhone, you may also need to set up Switch Control in the device's accessibility settings. Plan on about 30 minutes in total. See manufacturer support resources for detailed instructions.
