The ClickToGo caters for a wide variety of user needs and abilities by providing flexible and versatile programming options. These options can be selected from the front panel of the ClickToGo without the need of an external programming device.

Three different methods of scanning are supported. Single switch automatic scan, single switch short click scan and two-switch step scan. The scanning pattern can be chosen from a set of pre-programmed patterns or you can create your own.

The ClickToGo provides total control over a powered wheelchair system. The switches used to operate the ClickToGo can also be used to make seat tilt and space adjustment, and, control an external device such as a communication aid or environmental control. This means that the same switch can be used to control different equipment.

The Heading Lock is similar to a compass. Before you start driving forward it “remembers” which direction you were heading and then as you drive forward attempts to keep you, or lock you, on that heading as the chair veers to the left or right.

The Heading Lock is simple and easy to use. It plugs into the ClickToGo and the left/right corrections that the Heading Lock makes can be seen on the ClickToGo when the Left and Right LEDs flicker.

Four buttons are used to operate mouse button functions left click, double click, right click and mouse speed. 3.5mm jack sockets allow connection of standard switches for those who find it difficult to operate the switches on the unit itself. Drag-Lock feature allows a user to drag without having to keep the left button pressed.

The joystick is a professional non-contacting type as found on powered wheelchairs and is available in standard and ball knob versions. The standard version has a switch on top of the knob that operates the left mouse button. The ball knob can be interchanged with knobs including chin, sponge, wrist plate etc.

Alternatively two external switches can be connected and used to operate the mouse button functions. The left hand switch input operates the left click whilst the right hand switch input can be set to operate either the right click, left double click or mouse speed.

To use the Mini Point-It! effectively it must be mounted. A circular mounting plate with a ¼” thread is available which attaches to the bottom of the joystick and screws into any camera mounting bracket.

The joystick is battery powered and comes complete with charger and mouse receiver. The mouse receiver connects to the USB port of a computer and is best positioned facing out from the edge of the table. Then, when positioned in front of the computer an invisible link is made between the joystick and the computer.

Three buttons are used to operate mouse functions, left click, right click and mouse speed. The function of the right button can be set to be either right click, double click or drag lock. 3.5mm jack sockets allow connection of standard switches for those who find it difficult to operate the buttons on the unit itself. For people who find it difficult to operate any switches, advanced modes allow all mouse button functions to be accessed by pressing just one switch or by simply “flicking” the joystick.

A special extended version of the Wireless Point-It! can be interfaced to any device that can already be controlled by one or more switches. The joystick movements simply replace the action of pressing switches. This enables a user to have integrated control over both their computer mouse and an external device such as a communication aid or environmental control.
