Abstract (en)
[origin: EP2341410A1] The joystick has a stick (12) movable with respect to a base in rotation around two axes, and returning units e.g. metal helicoidal spring (214), mounted between the base and a movable element i.e. movable support, acting on the stick and tending to return the stick to a neutral position. Compensation units e.g. compression springs, are mounted between the base and the movable element, and apply force on the movable element partially compensating the force applied by the returning units when the stick is located in vicinity of the neutral position. An independent claim is also included for a method for manufacturing a joystick.
