Just my opinion, but I would think using any kind of chin control or like, a
front or mid wheel chair would work better. Though I've never really used a
chin control or sip-n-puff much. I know the turning is much different with a
front/mid, but once you figure it out you can turn much sharper

It really all depends on what you want and need. I hated my TDX3, but really
like my TDX5.
I think it was the True Track. I'm not sure if the TDX3 has it. The TDX3
was just jerky. While driving in a straight line, you know how you make
slight corrections? The TDX3 would jerk with each correction.
I think your biggest problem is going to be that medicare believes
