A joystick, mouse, or trackball having a rotationally-symmetrical member. The joystick or the like can be braked by an appropriate control signal from data processing apparatus such as a computer.

In accordance with the invention, the joystick, mouse or trackball also includes an accelerator which is capable of positively accelerating the joystick, mouse or trackball in a desired direction. The mechanical feedback is thus substantially improved.
