<p>An apparatus is provided for ergonomically controlling video or computer functions or the like. A vertical control stick (10) provides means for producing and transmitting signals to a computer. A first signal means is interconnected with the control stick (10) such that movement of the stick forward from a neutral stick position (30) causes a first set of signals to a computer. Similarly, a second signal means is interconnected with the stick such that movement of the control stick (10) rearward from the neutral stick position (30) causes a second set of signals to a computer. A rotatable collar (45) is annularly disposed on the outer surface of the stick (10) such that the collar (45) may be manually rotated about the longitudinal axis of the stick (10) in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions from a neutral collar position. A console (80) having a control panel (100) with one or more controls (110) is mounted on an upper end of the control stick (10).</p> |
