The Buddy Button Control for the Genie V2 Standing Wheelchair is an innovative and versatile control option designed to enhance accessibility and ease of use. These large, easy-to-activate buttons can be positioned anywhere on the chair, providing a simple and effective means of control for users who may find traditional joysticks or compact controllers challenging to use.
One of the primary advantages of the Buddy Button Control system is its flexibility in placement. Multiple buttons can be positioned at various points around the wheelchair - on armrests, headrests, or any other convenient location. This adaptability allows the control system to be tailored to each user's specific range of motion and preferred positioning, significantly enhancing accessibility and comfort.
The buttons themselves are designed for ease of use. They are typically large, with a low profile that requires minimal pressure to activate. This design makes them suitable for users with limited strength or precision in their movements. Despite their sensitivity, the buttons are engineered to prevent accidental activation, ensuring reliable and intentional control.
Versatility is a key feature of the Buddy Button Control system. Different buttons can be programmed to control various functions of the Genie V2, from driving and steering to adjusting seating positions or activating the standing function. This allows users to access all the chair's features through a control method that works best for them.
For users with progressive conditions or changing needs, the Buddy Button Control system offers valuable adaptability. As a user's abilities change over time, the button layout and functions can be easily modified to ensure continued independence and ease of use.
