AGNOSTIC JOYSTICK – accurate to the micron
Industry and medical technology have been waiting for such a versatile and customisable joystick design.
Initial situation & challenge
Movements in the micrometer range do not allow for any errors, especially when it comes to projects in industry and medical technology. Absolute precision in control coupled with maximum user-friendliness is a must here. Mechanics and electronics must therefore interact optimally.
Algra has therefore transferred its own Agnostic sensor button technology into a customizable joystick design.
What makes the Agnostic joystick so special?
- The handle of the joystick can be manufactured according to the customer’s wishes. Shape and built-in mechanics are perfectly tailored to the customer’s application.
- When you place your thumb on the joystick, high-quality force sensors perceive even the finest movements. There is currently no other product on the market that can compete with the sensor programming of the Agnostic joystick.
- The joystick also reacts dynamically to movements: The harder you press it into the periphery, the faster the connected function moves.

The Agnostic joystick can be used in a variety of ways, for example in the field of medical technology.
Here, the requirements for cleaning suitability are particularly high. Especially when cleaning in an autoclave, many products often have the problem that supposedly hygienically closing rubber lips outgas over time and thus become brittle and permeable.
With the Agnostic joystick, you avoid this situation: The hermetically sealed front is ideal for cleaning. Use the joystick, for example, with endoscope handles for cameras, lights, recordings and other applications.
