Grip knobs are the most basic types of knobs. They are usually straight rod-shaped and only provide the function of grip. When you select the model, you should select the knobs with the most appropriate height according to your usage habits, which will improve your comfort of operation.


All kinds of control joysticks of Sibo have grip knobs, such as C203 knob of CV6, C202B knob of JH40, C201A and C203A knob of JP50 and JH50, etc. Some grip knobs have some special changes, for example, the C212 Knob of JH40 has a pallet. We can also customize special-shaped knobs that meet ergonomics according to customer requirements.


Switch Knobs


The switch knobs, as the name suggests, are to be installed a button switch on the basis of grip knobs to add an additional switch signal on the basis of the original output signal of joysticks.


Switch knobs are also the common types, including C101A-X knob of CV4, C103-C knob of CV6, C105-C knob of JH30, C108knob of JH40, C106 knob of JP50 and JH50, etc.

The push button switches on the switch knob are highly customized. You can choose a momentary type or maintained type, you can choose the color of the switch button, or you can choose a switch with light. Of course, if you need some special switches, such as sea-saw switches, we can also provide them.


Our switch-type knobs usually have only 1 to 2 switches. If you need more switches, we also provide them for you. Please see the special knobs behind.


Rotary Knobs


There is a rotary mechanism on the top of the rotary knobs, which usually has a resistance substrate or an angular sensor chip inside, and can output analog signals proportional to the rotation angle. It is equivalent to adding another directional output on the basis of the 2-directional output of the joystick body. Usually, we call this additional axis Z axis.
