I also use a chin controller. It is really a hand control which is mounted to a bib. It does weigh a lot-about 14 ounces-but I have learned to live with it because I like the control that it gives me. We live on a hillside, 8 acres, and it allows me to maneuver anywhere. I would love to get one of the lighter weight ones, but none are compatible for my wheelchair.
I did not try a sip and puff, as I was happy with the chin controller that I first used. Besides, I'm a girl, this way I can talk and drive. J However, I do not use a headrest which gives me somewhat more mobility for my neck. I figure the more that I exercise my neck and shoulder muscles, the better off I will be in the future. We have a beautiful thunder boomer going on, hope we get some rain to go with it. Joan C4 1990
