Abstract (en)
An optical multi-function joystick for electronic video games employs a simple slot-in-groove arrangement to allow movement in perpendicular directions of slidable members, which carry fins to interrupt light beams produced by opto-sensors. A control shaft (12), which moves the slidable members, is retained for pivotal movement in the joystick frame. <IMAGE>
