Presently there are hardly any toys available which can be used by children, adolescents and adults with severe physical disabilities. A very interesting group of non-trivial toys are remote controlled (RC) models because the remotes can be easily substituted with custom ones. Since RC models need very accurate commands with very low latency in several channels concurrently, the remote for usage by people with severe physical disabilities must implement several requirements. This paper describes and discusses the prototype of a mouth operated joystick accessible for people with severe physical disabilities to accurately control RC model helicopters, multicopters, airplanes, boats or cars.
