The invention relates to a joystick control unit featuring a joystick shaft member with a reflective surface on its bottom portion which is parallel to the X-Y plane when the shaft is placed in a centered upright position. The reflective surface tilts as the shaft member is moved through the X-Y plane and reflects the radiant energy emitted from a source mounted beneath the shaft member and directs it towards a plurality of radiant energy detectors selectively arranged beneath the reflective surface. The shaft member includes a movable inner member with at least one aperture in an upstanding sidewall which selectively permits or prevents the transmission of radiant energy through the aperture for purposes of controlling a switch function.
