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 3):
The electrical switch assembly of  claim 2 , wherein the flex-wall is configured to provide a self-righting force to the actuator arm when the actuator arm is manipulated from a neutral or equilibrium position.
