Compatibility
JAZZ Joystick works with USB compatible computers including PCs, Macs and Chromebooks,
including AAC devices built on a PC platform and which have USB ports. It may also be used
on iPad/iPhone (from iOS13 onwards) and some Android devices, depending on their exact
specification. An adapter cable will be required for most tablet and phone devices. Please
consult with Pretorian or an authorised distributor if you are uncertain.
Installation
Locate an unused USB socket on your device and plug in your JAZZ Joystick. You do not need to
turn off the power before doing so. On tablet computers and phones, identify the correct adapter
cable and plug JAZZ Joystick in via the cable. No drivers are required to enable JAZZ Joystick to
work, the device will automatically build a driver to suit the requirements – a process which may
take a few seconds the first timeJAZZ Joystick is plugged in but afterwards will be immediate.
For iPad/iPhone devices, ensure that the adapter cable is of good quality and if not of Apple
manufacture, is an Apple licensed accessory.
Please note that some devices do not support Switch Scanning; this mode is meant primarily for
AAC devices such as Gridpad*.
Mouse Mode
When set to Mouse Mode, JAZZ Joystick moves the cursor at the selected speed solely in the
up, down, left and right directions with Diagonal Movement disabled and may optionally include
movement along any of the four diagonals if Diagonal Cursor Movement is enabled.
No movement occurs until the angle of movement of the joystick exceeds a threshold, at which
the unit emits a click which is similar to the sound of a switch closure, and only then does cursor
movement start in the chosen direction, making it insensitive to small, unintentional movements.
The click sound provides the user with auditory feedback, although it may be disabled.
For all speed settings, the cursor speed accelerates over time from when the click is first heard,
up to the chosen maximum. When SmartTrack is disabled, the speed of the cursor always starts
from minimum and accelerates. Alternatively, if SmartTrack is enabled, the starting speed
increases according to the time for which the cursor has previously been stationary (see a fuller
description below).
The buttons may be configured as left click, draglock right click or double click while the left-hand
3.5mm socket has the same function as the left button. The right-hand 3.5mm socket allows the
user to switch between Mouse Mode and Switch Scanning Mode, if required.
