Joystick device with haptic feedback

A joystick device for providing a haptic feedback, comprising:

• a lever configured to be pivotally movable about a rotational center point from an initial position in which the lever extends along a central axis;
• a first spring seat attached to the lever;
• a second spring seat attached to the lever at a position between the first spring seat and the rotational center point and configured to move toward the first spring seat as the lever is tilted from the central axis;
• a first spring extending along the lever between the first spring seat and the second spring seat and configured to be subjected to compression and urge the lever to the initial position as the second spring seat moves toward the first spring seat;
• and
• a second spring separate from the first spring and extending along the lever,
• wherein the second spring is disposed between the first spring seat and the second spring seat and configured to be subjected to compression and urge the lever to the initial position as the second spring seat moves toward the first spring seat,
• wherein the joystick device further comprises a third spring seat attached to the lever at a position between the first spring seat and the second spring seat, the third spring seat being configured to form a gap between the third spring seat and the second spring seat when the lever is in the initial position,
• wherein the first spring has one end attached to the first spring seat and another end attached to the second spring seat,
• wherein the second spring has one end attached to the first spring seat and another end attached to the third spring seat, and
• wherein the second spring is configured to be subjected to compression when the lever is tilted to a triggering position, in which the second spring seat comes into contact with the third spring seat, and tilted further from the triggering position.
