The Joyonway PB557 Topside Control (TS-JO557) is the most compact panel in the Joyonway TFT range, delivering premium colour display technology in an ultra-slim 160 × 50 mm form factor.

Built by Joyonway, this streamlined 4-button topside packs the same advanced features as larger models into a remarkably compact design.
