If "Mv" relates to a specific product, equipment, or technology launched or developed since then, I recommend consulting the product's official documentation, support forums, or directly contacting the manufacturer for the most accurate and up-to-date information.

The ability to move a joystick from the right to the left side is often determined by the design and modifiability of the specific gaming device or controller. Some high-end or customizable controllers may allow users to swap out or rearrange components, such as joysticks, to suit their tastes.

However, This customization level is not a typical feature on all gaming controllers.

Unfortunately, it's not directly possible to move the joystick from the right side to the left side on a Hoveround MV power wheelchair without modifications. The joystick control box is typically pre-wired and designed for specific placement on the right side.

However, there are a few workarounds you can consider, depending on your needs and comfort level:

1. Using the existing joystick on the right side:

If you're comfortable using your left hand to operate the joystick on the right side, you can simply continue doing so.

Hoveround recommends practicing in a safe, open area to get accustomed to the controls.

Some users find it helpful to wear a wrist brace or support on their left hand for added stability and control.

2. Purchasing a left-handed control box:

Hoveround doesn't officially offer left-handed control boxes, but some third-party vendors sell aftermarket joystick replacements that can be compatible with specific Hoveround models.

This option typically requires some technical knowledge and installation skills.

It's crucial to ensure compatibility with your specific MV model before purchasing any third-party parts.

3. Consulting a technician:

If you're not comfortable with DIY modifications, you can consult a qualified mobility scooter technician.

They may be able to modify the existing wiring or install a compatible left-handed control box if one is available for your MV model.

This option might be the most expensive, but it ensures professional installation and avoids potential safety risks.
