Abstract:
The present invention provides, in some aspects, a rugged and inexpensive joystick assembly comprising a core configured to manipulate a series of switches and located by an elastomeric overlay. The elastomeric overlay can include a tactile surface for a user, a water-resistant coating for a switch panel and a flex-wall disposed between the tactile surface and switch panel coating. The elastomeric overlay can be configured to positively locate the joystick core relative to the switch panel and provide a water-tight seal. The thickness, width and hardness of the flex-wall can be tuned to provide adequate locating strength and resistance to wear.

Claim (Index 19):
The electrical joystick assembly of  claim 10 , wherein the elastomeric layer provides a continuous surface covering the upper surface of the base member, extending over the lateral sides of the base member and terminating at a location below a lower surface of the base member.
