ABSTRACT:
A digital joystick controller is disclosed which utilizes a plastic base portion and a pivotally mounted "joystick." A plurality of electrical contacts are disposed within the bottom of the base portion and a planar conductive member is suspended a selected distance above the electrical contacts. The planar conductive member includes a number of elongate sections which serve to urge the joystick into an erect position and which deflect to contact selected ones of the plurality of electrical contacts in response to manual displacement of the joystick from an erect position. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention an elongate button switch is disposed within the joystick and is axially movable therein. An elongate section of the planar conductive member is utilized to urge the button switch into a first position and to selectively contact a particular electrical contact in response to manual depression of the button switch.
