Abstract
A gamepad and a joystick feedback force apparatus thereof are disclosed. The joystick feedback force apparatus comprises a joystick that is configured to accept a user's operation and is rotatably installed in a casing of the gamepad. It further comprises a torque output device and a deceleration device. An output shaft of the torque output device is connected with an input end of the deceleration device, an output end of the deceleration device is connected with a rotating shaft of the joystick to apply a torque output by the torque output device to the rotating shaft. When the user operates the joystick to rotate, a certain torque is applied to the rotating shaft after being decelerated by the deceleration device, namely, the corresponding torque is applied to the joystick to form a feedback force to the user.
