Claim 12:
13. The user-input device of claim 12, further comprising:
a first capacitive sensor configured to determine a capacitance of the first capacitive target;
a second capacitive sensor configured to determine a capacitance of the second capacitive target;
a third capacitive sensor configured to determine a capacitance of the third capacitive target;
a fourth capacitive sensor configured to determine a capacitance of the fourth capacitive target; and
wherein:
the microcontroller is configured to determine the angular position of the joystick in the first axis from a difference in capacitance between the first capacitive target and the second capacitive target, and
the microcontroller is configured to determine the angular position of the joystick in the second axis from a difference in capacitance between the third capacitive target and the fourth capacitive target.
