Abstract:
1. A video game controller having a rotatable actuator with respect to a fixed frame, so as to simulate at least one simulated vehicle steering column rotation control, characterized in that said actuator is translatably mounted with respect to said fixed frame, on a predetermined movement range, using an assembly of at least two sliding parts with one or both sliding with respect to the other, one of said sliding parts being rigidly connected to said actuator and the other of said sliding parts being rigidly connected to said fixed frame, a first of said sliding parts comprising at least one slot accessible by at least one opening in which at least one penetrating portion of the second of said sliding parts can move along a separate axis from the rotation movement axis of said actuator, the translation movement of said actuator being generated by electromagnetic means according to at least one electrical signal having characteristics that vary according to a received command, the first of said sliding parts comprising at least one winding through which said electrical signal passes or at least one magnet and the second of said sliding parts comprising at least one magnet or at least one winding respectively.
