Abstract
There is provided a capacitive joystick device including a substrate, a fixed plate, a movable member, a plurality of elastic elements, a cone and an operation stick. The substrate includes a ground region and a capacitance sensing region. The fixed plate includes a first opening. The movable member includes a second opening. The elastic elements are symmetrically disposed between the fixed plate and the movable member. The cone is disposed between the movable member and the substrate, and includes a base, a vertex and a lateral surface. The base presses against the movable member. The vertex is disposed on the ground region of the substrate. The lateral surface is aligned with the capacitance sensing region of the substrate. The operation stick extends from the base of the cone and passes through the first opening and the second opening.
