Abstract
The invention relates to a video game controller () having a rotatable actuator () with respect to a frame (), so as to simulate at least one simulated vehicle steering column rotation control. According to the invention, said actuator () is translatably mounted with respect to said fixed frame (), on a predetermined movement range, using an assembly of two sliding parts () with one or both sliding with respect to the other, one of said sliding parts () being rigidly connected to said actuator () and the other to said fixed frame (), a first of said sliding parts () comprising at least one slot (F), accessible by an opening () in which one penetrating portion () of the second of said sliding parts () moves along one separate axis of the rotation movement axis of said actuator (), the translation movement of said actuator () being generated by electromagnetic means controlled by an electrical signal, the first of said sliding parts comprising at least one winding and the second of said sliding parts comprising a magnet.
