Abstract

An electrical switch assembly in the form of a digital controller (e.g. a joystick controller) for connection to the analogue joystick port of a computer, comprises a switching means (10) and two output terminals (OP1, OP2). Each terminal. e.g. (OP1) is connectable by the switching means to a supply rail (SR) through three paths (21, 22, 23) of different resistance values, under control of an actuating means defining a centre position and displacements, along an axis, in two opposite directions from the centre position. <IMAGE>
