ABSTRACT:
A joystick for a computer game which comprises a stick lever, a trigger button and a function button. In the joystick, when the function button is pressed down while the stick lever is inclined in one of directions or the trigger button is depressed, an operation specified by the inclination direction of the stick lever or by the trigger button can be executed intermittently or continuously, so that, even if the trigger button is operated long, it is possible to enhance the operation of the joystick, to reduce the fatigue of a player and to extend the life of the joystick.
