The JS7000 joystick series, a new line of joysticks for mobile equipment control, was born from an in-depth collaboration between Sauer-Danfoss and Brooks Stevens, Inc. Sauer-Danfoss relied on BSI throughout the development process of these new controls which feature a dual axis design, push button & trigger switches and right or left hand grips.
A multi-continental design research study identified surprising regional differences in use from an ergonomic and an interfacing perspective, leading to the identification of three distinct types of users the new designs would have to accommodate. They were defined by geography, equipment to be operated, level and format of switch technology employed, and even hand size.
