The BlueLine Bluetooth Joystick is a compact adaptive mouse alternative that connects directly to compatible computers, tablets and smartphones using Bluetooth. It allows the cursor to be moved accurately without gripping or repeatedly repositioning a conventional mouse, making it suitable for users with limited fine motor control, dexterity or hand and arm movement. Direct Bluetooth connectivity removes the need for a separate wireless receiver. BlueLine is particularly useful with iPad and iPhone through Apple’s AssistiveTouch mouse support, while also connecting to compatible Android devices, Windows computers, Macs and Chromebooks. Three recessed buttons and two 3.5mm external switch sockets can each be programmed individually. Available functions include left, middle and right click, double-click, drag lock, swipe left, swipe right and dwell click. This allows the controls to be arranged around the user’s abilities and the activities they want to complete. Four cursor-speed settings allow movement to be adjusted for greater accuracy or faster navigation. BlueLine also includes three interchangeable joystick handles, providing different options for gripping or pushing the control using the fingers, hand, wrist or forearm. All programmed settings are stored within the joystick and recalled whenever it is switched on, even when it is connected to a different device. This is particularly helpful for occupational therapists, assessors, schools and services that configure equipment for individual users. The built-in rechargeable lithium battery provides up to 15 hours of continuous use. An automatic sleep function helps conserve power between activities, and the joystick can continue to be used while charging from a USB socket.
