Joystick defect

Agree with previous review. Tapping the remote causes the chair to move, often in reverse. Can move a table in effort to bring the chair , with arms back, up to the table. Did not have this problem two years ago. Is a safety issue so hope it will be addressed

Please revert the joystick controller to the previous version!

The new one is smaller—that’s not the biggest issue. The real problem is that it has no "dead zone," unlike the previous version. Let me explain: In the old version, when I tapped the joystick, it would shift just a tiny bit without triggering any movement at all. That’s how physical joysticks work, right? A light touch doesn’t make the wheelchair move—you have to push in a direction with some force to make really move. But in the current version, there’s no dead zone (or it’s way too small), so the wheelchair starts moving the second I tap the joystick. Did the developers actually test this in real use? Anyway, thanks for your hard work—but please, just revert the joystick to how it was before.
