Abstract

See full text

An analog joystick for a game machine controller is provided that is disposed as a pendulum that depends downwardly from the operating device housing so that inclination of the housing from its prescribed home orientation effects the contact conventionally afforded by digital manipulation. In a preferred embodiment, a length of the joystick and/or a weighted portion of the joystick can be adjusted or replaced so as to alter an inclination sensitivity of the operating device. This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/219,698, which was filed Jul. 21, 2000. The disclosure of which is incorporated herein by this reference.
