Force joysticks are preferred over displacement joysticks when precise or continuous control in two or more related dimensions is required.
Additional Information: Force joysticks are particularly appropriate for applications: (1) that require precise return to center after each use, (2) in which feedback is primarily visual rather than tactile feedback from the control itself, and (3) where there is minimal delay and tight coupling between control and input and system reaction. When positioning speed is more critical than positioning accuracy, force joysticks should be selected over displacement joysticks. 5908
