At Lakeview, every product launch is more than just a technical achievement—it’s an opportunity to connect with our partners and share the next step in our journey together. This year, we’re excited to invite you to meet not one, but two brand-new solutions, both designed to inspire fresh possibilities in the broadcast industry.
Mechanical Joystick Push Button Switch
Developed in response to customer demand for alternatives to long-lead-time and high-cost options
In June this year, one of our long-term customers reached out to us regarding a pushbutton switch for use in a mechanical joystick. They are currently using products from OTTO and ITW, but mentioned that the lead times for these switches are quite long and the prices are high. They asked if we could assist in developing a suitable alternative. Ideally, they are also looking for potential improvements in performance and functionality compared to their existing solution.
We have now completed the mold design and development and are currently fine-tuning the mechanical lifespan and tactile feel of the switch. To meet the diverse needs of our customers, we plan to offer multiple tactile options as well as both momentary and latching switch versions. In addition, the LED indicator can be customized to fit specific design requirements.
It’s not just a replacement—it’s a next-level switch experience, purpose-built for demanding broadcast and industrial environments.
The Display-Integrated Push Button Switch
Built on our proven PLC series LED switches, this new version integrates a high-resolution TFT display screen directly into the switch. What does this mean for you?
- Simpler procurement: no need to source separate display modules
- Easy panel upgrades: identical panel cutout dimensions as existing PLC switches, with only minimal PCB adjustments required
With this innovation, control panels can now be smarter, clearer, and more efficient—without the burden of redesigning from scratch.
The Big Reveal at IBC 2025
We can’t wait to introduce these two innovations in person at IBC 2025 in Amsterdam. As the broadcast industry’s premier global event, IBC is the perfect place to see, touch, and experience what these products can bring to your future designs.
