Abstract
A controller comprising a housing, at least one user input device and an output assembly. The housing includes an upper surface, a lower surface, opposing side surfaces and a front surface. The at least one user input device comprises a 3D roller assembly. The 3D roller assembly comprises a x-axis roller, a y-axis roller and a z-axis roller. Each of the x-axis roller, the y-axis roller and the z-axis roller rotate about respective axes which are substantially orthogonal to each other. The output assembly capable of coupling the at least one user input device to an outside hardware device.
