Abstract
A joystick device is provided. The joystick device includes a housing, a joystick assembly, a reset assembly, a translation assembly, and a circuit board. A magnetic component is located on the translation assembly, and a magnetic induction element is located on the circuit board. The joystick assembly pushes the translation assembly to translate, and the magnetic induction element generate an output that changes with the movement of the translation assembly. A handle using the joystick device also provided.
