Claim 6:
7. The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 5, wherein the positionally-specific predefined force value is a first positionally-specific predefined force value, and the instructions, when executed by the controller further cause performance of operations including:
detecting movement of the thumbstick from the stationary default position and to a second position other than the stationary default position, wherein the second position is further away from the stationary default position than the current position;
selecting, by the one or more processors, a second positionally-specific predefined force value based on the second position of the thumbstick relative to the top portion of the housing, wherein the second positionally-specific predefined force value is a smaller force value than the first positionally-specific predefined force value; and
providing, via the haptic-feedback generator, haptic feedback to the user in response to the one or more processors determining that a magnitude of another force applied to the thumbstick while it is in the second position satisfies the second positionally-specific predefined force value.
