The HC-IP desktop hand control has been ergonomically designed to maximise performance and comfort. From providing a neutral hand position with adequate wrist support, and left or right handed operation, everything was considered to create a controller that is radically different to the options previously available.Using Power over Ethernet, the HC-IP requires just one Ethernet cable for both power and network connectivity. A light clearly indicates the power and connectivity status to the user. The three main buttons are centrally positioned in an elevated section of the controller for comfortable access with either hand. A programmable function button on either side of the scroll wheel include a choice of illumination colour for easy reference.The HC-IP represents a major step forward for operators everywhere who use scroll controls on a daily basis.
