Contacts are cast in loop-like patterns toward the periphery of each member and an elastomeric member inside the bounds of the contacts between the support member and base provides resilient return action. A plunger carried in a bore in the handle and through the elastomeric member closes contacts in the base and is operated independently of the joystick directional control.Other References
