Abstract:
A thumbstick for a user input device comprises an adjustable tensioning mechanism configured to modify a tilt tension of a tiltable post. The thumbstick comprises a cap with a stem that defines a first cavity. A base is moveable with the tiltable post and comprises a portion extending into the first cavity. The portion defines a second cavity and comprises a protuberance projecting into the second cavity. An adjustment body within the second cavity comprises a recessed slot and a contacting surface at a distal end. The slot is configured to engage the protuberance to adjust the tilt tension of the tiltable post.

Claim (Index 5):
The thumbstick of  claim 4 , wherein the minimum-tension stop surface is a first minimum-tension stop surface, the slot further comprising a second minimum-tension stop surface spaced from the first minimum-tension stop surface and having a height less than a height of the first minimum-tension stop surface, the second minimum-tension stop surface configured to abut the protuberance and prevent rotation of the adjustment body in an increasing-tension direction without a prior translation of the adjustment body toward the tiltable post.
