Multi-Axis

XL-VNSO Joystick

The XL-VNSO joystick shares the same rugged construction and long-life as the standard VNSO, but in a more compact size. This high-duty joystick is often used in applications with space constraints that still require heavy duty construction and operation. Unlike the VNSO, the XL-VNSO can be configured with microswitches, hall-effect and PWM output types.
