Powerchair Controllers

Replacing a Powerchair Controller or Joystick

Powerchair controllers and joysticks are specialist replacement parts. They control how a powered wheelchair moves, steers and responds, so choosing the correct part is essential.

This selection currently focuses on Quantum control systems, including joystick and controller options. These products are highly model-specific, so the main priority is compatibility rather than browsing by appearance or price.

Before ordering, check:

• The make and model of the powerchair
• The controller type currently fitted
• Whether the joystick, controller or wider system needs replacing
• Whether setup, pairing or programming may be required
• Whether the fault should be checked before buying a replacement part

If a powerchair has stopped responding, is showing controller faults, or is behaving unpredictably, it is usually best to confirm the issue before ordering a replacement part. In some cases, the problem may relate to the joystick or controller, but faults can also be linked to batteries, wiring, motors, connections or programming.

Modern Mobility can help with powerchair servicing and repairs, and the team may be able to advise which controller or joystick is suitable for your chair before you buy.

You may also find it useful to browse powerchairs, complex powerchairs, powerchair accessories, wheelchair accessories, service and repairs or delivery information.
