The invention provides for a controller device and corresponding method to be used with a personal computer. The invention can be used with a computer mouse and/or a keyboard to better provide user inputs. The invention primarily comprises an ergonomic body allowing for a user to comfortably rest their hand and align their fingers with a plurality of input devices. The input devices may be 2-axis joysticks with an integrated switch, keyboard switches, directional pads, or other means of converting a mechanical motion into an electrical signal. The controller device may connect to a personal computer using a USB cable or utilizing wireless technologies. User customization can occur using mechanical connections such as detachable palm rests, thumb caps, and even sections of the body. There are also software customizations such as auto-calibrating the joystick's baseline electrical signal noise and sensitivity and LED colors of various LEDs located within the device.

In an embodiment of the present invention, provides a remote control including: a remote control body and a control lever assembly at least partially accommodated in the remote control body; the control lever assembly including: a housing disposed in the remote control body; a rotating member disposed in the housing and rotatably connected to the housing; and a control lever connected to the rotating member, the control lever driving the rotating member to rotate around at least one direction relative to the housing; and the control lever having a handle and a dust-proof portion connected to the handle, the rotating member being connected to the dust-proof portion, the dust-proof portion being partially accommodated in the housing, and the rotating member being shielded by the dust-proof portion.

A manual input device for a machine includes an elongate handle rigidly connected at one end to a frame of a machine and configured to be engaged by a hand of an operator, and a control portion connected to a free end of the elongate handle. The control portion includes a first plurality of control surfaces and a second plurality of control surfaces associated with sensors providing control signals. The first plurality of control surfaces is positioned and oriented relative to the handle portion so it is accessible for interaction by a thumb of the hand of the operator, and the second plurality of control surfaces is positioned and oriented relative to the handle portion so it is accessible for interaction by an index finger of the hand of the operator.

A seat adjustment switch includes a multidirectional force sensor, a carrier plate, and a button cap. The multidirectional force sensor is arranged on the carrier plate and includes a sensor pin. The sensor pin is pivotable via which the multidirectional force sensor is actuatable. The button cap is connected to the sensor pin. The button cap serves as an actuating element operable by an operator for pivoting the sensor pin in order to actuate the multidirectional force sensor. The carrier plate includes a receiving sleeve that is integrally formed with the carrier plate and is connected to other portions of the carrier plate via flexible regions, the sensor pin is guided through the receiving sleeve for the multidirectional force sensor to be arranged on the carrier plate. The button cap forms a form-fit connection with the receiving sleeve.

A joystick includes: a base; a joystick shaft, four micro-switches, and a retaining ring. The joystick shaft is in operable connection with the base, and is surrounded by a trigger member and a limit member. The four micro-switches are fixed on the base, and are located in four cardinal directions of the trigger member, and four ordinal directions are formed between every two adjacent micro-switches. Each of the micro-switches is a mechanical-shaft-key switch. The retaining ring is configured to limit rotation angles of the joystick shaft. According to the joystick of the present application, the noise caused by the joystick can be effectively reduced, and the service life of the joystick can be prolonged, the directional output control in eight directions can be realized, and it is ensured that the micro-switches in the cardinal directions will not be damaged when the joystick performs the control operation in the ordinal directions.

An motor vehicle seat for a driver of a motor vehicle includes a frame and one or more control devices coupled to the frame in a movable manner relative to the frame and manually manoeuvrable by the driver to emit electrical control signals configured to drive the motor vehicle according to the movement of the control devices with respect to the frame.

The computer mouse with integrated joy stick is an extension of the prior disclosure. The computer mouse with integrated joy stick is configured for use with a microcontroller. The computer mouse with integrated joy stick forms a communication link with the microcontroller. The computer mouse with integrated joy stick is an interface device commonly known as a mouse. The computer mouse with integrated joy stick sends input in the form of operating instructions to the microcontroller over the communication link to the microcontroller. The microcontroller uses the received operating instructions to control the operation of a plurality of output display devices associated with the microcontroller.

Control center for an aerial device, said aerial device comprising a main boom part mounted on a turret, the main boom part being inclinable around a horizontal axis in a first inclination movement, rotatable around a vertical axis in a rotation movement, and extendable and retractable in a first telescopic movement, wherein the control center comprises a first control device configured for controlling the first inclination movement and the rotation movement of the main boom part, and a second control device comprising at least a first control lever for controlling the first telescopic movement.

The present invention relates to the field of an unmanned aerial vehicle, and provides a remote control including: a remote control body and a control lever assembly at least partially accommodated in the remote control body; the control lever assembly including: a housing disposed in the remote control body; a rotating member disposed in the housing and rotatably connected to the housing; and a control lever connected to the rotating member, the control lever driving the rotating member to rotate around at least one direction relative to the housing; and the control lever having a handle and a dust-proof portion connected to the handle, the rotating member being connected to the dust-proof portion, the dust-proof portion being partially accommodated in the housing, and the rotating member being shielded by the dust-proof portion. Through the control lever assembly of the remote control, on the one hand, some external sand or moisture may be prevented from entering, on the other hand, an appearance of the control lever assembly may be better optimized, and the user who performs an operation may intuitively feel that the control lever rotates around a rotating center, providing better user experience.
