1 Introduction
Point-It!
Point-It! is a compact USB/HID compatible joystick for use as an alternative to a
mouse input. It gives smooth accurate proportional control of a mouse pointer.
This small unobtrusive unit can be located close to a user or operated on a
desktop. In addition it has fixings in its base so that it can be attached to a
Universal Mounting System and positioned effectively for chin control. The
joystick is a professional non-contacting type as found on powered wheelchairs
and is available with different knob options including ball, chin, T-bar and sponge.
Four switches are used to operate mouse button functions left click, double click,
right click and mouse speed. A fifth switch located in the top of the standard knob
also operates the left button. 3.5mm jack sockets allow connection of standard
switches for those who find it difficult to operate the switches on the unit itself.
DragLock feature allows a user to drag without having to keep the left button
pressed.

Refer to the following diagram when reading the operating instructions:-
Moving the Mouse
 To move the mouse pointer up the screen push the joystick knob forward.
 To move the mouse pointer down the screen pull the joystick knob back.

Right Mouse Button
To make a Right Click press the green button on the right of the Joystick.
Mouse Speed
The mouse speed can be set to one of four values. Slow, Medium, Fast and Very
Fast. When the Point-It! is turned on it is set to Medium speed. To change the
mouse speed press the white button once. Point-It! will change speed to the next
setting and beep once to indicate slow speed, twice to indicate medium speed,
three times to indicate fast speed and four times to indicate very fast speed.
TIP:
For users with gross motor movements set the speed to the slowest
possible and allow the user to use the full deflection of the Joystick. The joystick
contains a diamond shaped restrictor plate that helps a user locate the stick in
one of four directions and hold it there.
NOTE 2: It is not envisaged that a user will be able to operate all the buttons on
the joystick. Indeed most programs can be operated with just the left button
alone. In situations where a user cannot access any of the buttons then external
switches must be considered. In situations where a user cannot access any
switches then the Dwell function can be used. See page 9.
Knob Options
A range of knob alternatives are now available
for the Point-It! joystick including Chin,
Sponge, Carrot, DX, Wrist plate, T-Bar and
more.
These knobs are only inter-changeable with
the Ball Knob version of the Point-It! joystick.

5 Connections
Mouse Button Switches
If a user cannot operate the buttons on the Point-It! you can connect external
switches. These connectors are standard 3.5mm jack sockets located on either
side of the unit. The socket on the left operates the Left button, the socket on the
right operates the Right button.
Note:
When you insert a switch into the left socket the button at the top of the
joystick is disabled. This is a feature to enable people to use the standard
joystick knob but not the button at the top.
USB
The USB Cable is a standard cable that is connected to the USB port of your
computer.
Bluetooth HID
The Bluetooth version of Point-It! can be paired with a PC/MAC/Android or iOS
device. Go to Settings on your device and click on the Scan button. The Point-It!
should appear as a standard Human Interface Device (HID). Follow the pairing
procedure for your platform.
Note:
You must specify when ordering whether you require a USB or Bluetooth
version.
