A lever type integrated control unit of a vehicle, may include a lever housing pivotally displaced in a width direction of a vehicle, an acceleration unit located at one end portion of the lever housing and configured to transmit acceleration information related to the vehicle, and an acceleration controller connected to the acceleration unit and configured to receive the acceleration information related to the vehicle from the acceleration unit.

A joystick includes a stick and a base attached to the stick. The joystick includes a housing in which part of the base is disposed. The housing includes a baseplate. A predetermined number of magnets correspond to the number of pivot-axes. The magnets are attached to the base, and each of the magnets defines a pivot-axis around which the base can be. The pivot-axis is defined by one of the magnets diametrically opposite to this magnet. A magnetic element, in particular a plate, is attached to or is part of the baseplate. The joystick further includes a sensor for detecting rotation of the base around at least one of the predetermined number of pivot-axes. The base and the magnets attached to the base are disposed facing the magnetic element and interacting with the magnetic element such that an attractive force is pulling the magnets toward the magnetic element.

A lever type integrated control unit of a vehicle, may include a lever housing pivotally displaced in a width direction of a vehicle, an acceleration unit located at one end portion of the lever housing and configured to transmit acceleration information related to the vehicle, and an acceleration controller connected to the acceleration unit and configured to receive the acceleration information related to the vehicle from the acceleration unit.

The present invention relates to the field of remote control technologies and provides a rocker apparatus and a remote controller. The rocker apparatus includes a housing, a lever assembly, a magnetic element and a circuit board. The lever assembly is mounted in the housing and can move in parallel with the housing. The magnetic element is mounted in the lever assembly. The circuit board includes a magnetic sensor, the magnetic sensor being configured to sense a magnetic field change of the magnetic element. When the lever assembly moves in parallel with the housing, the magnetic element is driven by the lever assembly to move with respect to the magnetic sensor in any direction in a plane.
