Abstract
Disclosed is a haptic controller that includes a base, a control member, a control support that is adapted to enable a variable force to be applied at one or more points, and a connection member that connects the control member to the base. The controller features two parallel-axis pivots that connect the connection member to the base and to the control member. The controller also includes damper elements that are arranged respectively between the base and the connection member, and between the connection member and the control member. The damper elements damp the pivoting of the connection member and of the control member when a force is applied to the control support.
