Celestron hand control works

USB connection was the upgrade I needed. Now the hand controller doesn't loose power when I reset the scope, because it can draw power from USB.

Celestron NextStar Controller

The hand controller is a standard Celestron product. The newer model has a USB connection on the bottom of the controller instead of the less than ideal phone-jack connection.

Purchased for older CGEM mount

I wanted to try the new Celestron CWPI software for telescope control. But CWPI did not support my older Nexstar hand controller with a serial port. This newer model has a USB connector and works great with CWPI and my 10 year old CGEM mount.
