The J4F from elobau is a robust dual axis joystick with integrated functional safety electronics.



It has been designed for the operation of control functions in off-highway vehicles.

  • Joystick CAN module is robust and sealed to IP67, ideal for outdoor use
  • Extremely space-saving thanks to direct mounting of electronics module on the joystick
