Hello,

We have an older DeltaVision system which has a 46-key joystick
controller made by X-Keys (see images linked below). The joystick on our
controller has begun failing and we are looking for a replacement. We
have contacted GE HealthCare and they are unable to source one for us at
all as this is an older piece and they are now using a newer controller
that is incompatible.

If you have a spare (working) one of these controllers or know someone
who might have one, please let me know. We would be happy to discuss
paying you for it as well.

Best regards,

Update: GE was able to locate one for us at another lab, and I've had
other offers through this listserv, so we are all set! Really appreciate
the help from the community and from GE in getting this resolved.

For future reference, Marissa Smith from GE has also found that, because
we have the separate Workstation and IC/MIC setup, we would also be able
to use a newer, smaller (12-key) version of the joystick that they do
have in stock, so if you are in a similar position and are interested in
this newer joystick, you can place an order with GE for this part:

52-852862-000-9           29029405          ASSY KEYPAD/JOYSTICK 12-KEY DV

Best,
Mel

Update 2: Scratch that, we are still looking for one of these. It has to
be the "SE" version as shown on the picture of the back side. Please let
me know if you have one available!

Best,
Mel
