hat switch

Her jaw set, and she gave the hat switch a jab.

The main features dropped were Z-axis control and the 8-way hat switch.

A hat switch is a control on some joysticks.

The precise twist handle includes an 8-way rubber hat switch.

Amira nodded and aimed the remote, fingering the hat switch.

In a real aircraft, the hat switch may control things like aileron or rudder trim.

After a few moments, Amira grunted to herself and nosed the hat switch forward.

She maneuvered a small hat switch on the remote, and the whirling bit obediently descended, then retracted.

Instead, flight simmers must rely on keyboard combinations, joystick hat switches, or mouse movements to manipulate views in this 3D world.

In analogue mode, the x- and y-axis were controlled by the analogue controller movements, and the D-pad was used as a hat switch.

The term hat switch is a sanitization of the term "Coolie Hat", named for the similar-looking headgear, which may be considered offensive.

TrackIR was embraced by PC flight simulation enthusiasts who saw it as a better alternative to a joystick hat switch for view control.

The stick also features a thumb-operated digital hat switch on the right joystick, corresponding to the traditional D-pad, and used for instances when simple digital movements were necessary.

In digital mode, the D-pad controlled the x- and y-axis like a traditional digital control pad (therefore, there was no hat switch function in digital mode).

The joystick/throttle combination includes a number of controls, including trim wheels, a thumb operated slider, a mouse control and three eight-way hat switches, and a button under a flip-guard labeled "Safe".

The Aviator is designed with everything you'd expect from a high performance joystick, including a rugged, military-style design, rapid response trigger, 8-way hat switch, plus illuminated rocket or missile fire button with safety cover.

Intended to rival the other sticks from the time, the 3D Pro included 8 buttons - 4 on the base, 4 on the stick - an 8-way hat switch, a slider-based throttle, and the stick itself was twist able for Z/rudder/spin control.
