Rolling return to neutral depressable control

A user actuated control which may include a base, roller, magnet, sensor and spring assembly. The roller may be movably connected to the base so as to allow rotational displacement between a neutral angle and a maximum angle and linear displacement between a neutral position and a depressed position...

Zusammenfassung:A user actuated control which may include a base, roller, magnet, sensor and spring assembly. The roller may be movably connected to the base so as to allow rotational displacement between a neutral angle and a maximum angle and linear displacement between a neutral position and a depressed position. The magnet may be connected to the roller and the sensor may be connected to the base. The sensor may be configured to measure both the orientation and intensity of a magnetic field produced by the magnet and passing through the sensor. The spring assembly may be connected to the roller and the base and configured to exert a torque on the roller tending to return it to the neutral angle and the neutral position.
