I tend to agree with Steve and Jim when it comes to this OT's suggestion. I have been using a Peachtree for 14 years and while I know the new ones aren't nearly as good as the old ones, there was no way I would go to a chin control.
If you're having neck problems, I would not use the new Peachtree because it is even more difficult to activate. I tried a chin control system a while back and it put quite a bit of strain on other portions of my neck. I'm not used to using those particular muscles and after only about 30 minutes of use, my neck was killing me. That's me, it may not be the same for you. There are systems which can be programmed so you do not have to move your head very much. What type of head control are using right now?
