A strain gauge joystick with an enabling push-button comprises a support part (1). A thin-wall cylindric tube (5) is rigidly fixed, at a first extremity (4), to the supporting part (1). Strain gauges (8a-8d) are fixed on the tube near its first extremity (4). A hand lever (6) connected to the other extremity (7) of the tube transmits to the tube the radial force (9) exerted by a user, and also constitutes a push-button movable along the longitudinal axis (10) of the tube when activated by the user. A control device (13) accommodated inside the tube can be activated by the longitudinal displacement of the hand lever.
