A Successful 2024
Merry Christmas and a Look Ahead to 2025
 
Dear Customers and Partners of GT Joysticks AG,
As an exciting year comes to an end, we would like to take this opportunity to reflect on the past few months and share our outlook for the coming year with you.
Looking Back on 2024 – Progress and New Projects
A lot has happened since our last newsletter. We have successfully implemented and further developed numerous exciting customer projects. Our joystick families have also seen significant advancements: improvements and enhancements now enable us to provide our customers with even more precise and reliable solutions.
A Key Event in Brügg – Strengthening Partnerships
A major highlight in November was our big event in Brügg, where we welcomed our global partners. They had the opportunity to gain first-hand insights into our latest developments and forward-looking plans. The dialogue was highly productive, and we look forward to continuing to support you as a trusted partner in the region. You can find an overview of our partners on our homepage.

Christmas Season and Company Holidays

As the year draws to a close, we wish you all a peaceful and reflective holiday season. At GT Joysticks AG, we will also be taking a well-earned break, with our offices closed for Christmas from December 24 to January 6. However, our team will be happy to assist you with inquiries and orders both before and after this period.

Looking Ahead to 2025 – Innovations and New Developments
We are already excited to share some news for 2025. We will continue to enhance our existing product platforms, equipping them with innovative features. Among other updates, more models will be available with the CAN interface, and enhancements such as integrated pushbuttons will be expanded to additional models. You can look forward to these and many other developments—more details to follow soon.
Another important date for your calendar is Bauma in Munich (April 7–13, 2025), where we look forward to showcasing our latest products and meeting you in person.
Thank You for Your Cooperation!
The entire GT Joysticks AG team would like to thank you for your trust, successful collaboration, and exciting projects. We look forward to continuing to work alongside you in the coming year.

The SK197 was specially developed from scratch for use in radio remote controls. It impresses with its compact yet robust design.
Thanks to its closed bellows, the two-axis version can withstand up to IP69, the three-axis version still IP67.
Like most of our joystick families, the 197 series also have a modular design so that you can flexibly choose between different variants, from one to three axes, with step function or integrated pushbutton.
The joysticks are equipped with potentiometer technology to prevent interference from the environment and reduce energy consumption.
We also present you our video about the SK197 series.
 
 
In addition to the SK197 family, we also have many other joysticks that are suitable for use in radio remote controls. From the small thumb joystick to the SK315 to the SK60, our various joysticks are very popular with radio remote controls worldwide.
