Joystick - Quadstick FPS User Manual

Joystick

The joystick measures the deflection from the home, or center position and produces both
continuous analog values and discrete position signals, depending upon the output to which it is
connected. When used for the Mouse or one of the Game Pad joysticks, the position is
reported as continuously variable with the movement of the joystick. The sensitivity of the
joystick movement is controlled by two overall preference settings for the minimum and
maximum range of motion as well as four multipliers to individually adjust the movement in the
four directions: up, down, left & right. The general topic of Preference settings is covered in a
later chapter.
