The 60C is a cost-effective replacement of a stationary mouse or trackball with improved control over cursor move­ment. An integral Schmitt Trigger is used to stabilize against noise and vibration.

As a compact cursor control device, Grayhill's Series 60C is ideally suited for automotive and aviation dashboards,
where use of separate joysticks, encoders and pushbuttons might be impractical. It provides all the functionality of
a stationary mouse or trackball in a single unit with a 1"x1"x .661" deep housing. The joystick manipulates a cursor
