Motion Control Device for Interfacing with a Computing Device
First Claim
1. A motion control device for interfacing with a computing device comprises:
- a protective housing comprises an interface surface, a base surface, and a lateral wall;
the interface surface being oppositely positioned with the base surface, about the lateral wall;
a wheel-mounting extrusion being externally connected to the interface surface;
the wheel-mounting extrusion being oriented away from the base surface;
a rotary wheel being rotatably connected about the wheel-mounting extrusion;
a primary joystick being pivotably and centrally connected to wheel-mounting extrusion;
the primary joystick being positioned within the wheel-mounting extrusion;
at least one thumbstick being pivotably connected to the protective housing;
the at least one thumbstick being radially offset from the rotary wheel;
a plurality of programmable buttons being pressably mounted to the wheel-mounting extrusion;
the plurality of programmable buttons being oppositely positioned to the interface surface, along the wheel mounting extrusion;
a microcontroller being internally mounted within the protective housing; and
the rotary wheel, the primary joystick, the at least one thumbstick, and the plurality of programmable buttons being electronically connected to the microcontroller.

Abstract
A motion control device for interfacing with a computing device translates user interaction into an input signal to manipulate the output of the computing device. The motion control device includes a protective housing, a wheel-mounting extrusion, a rotary wheel, a primary joystick, at least one thumbstick, a plurality of programmable buttons, and a microcontroller. The protective housing supports the wheel-mounting extrusion, the primary joystick, and the at least one thumbstick. The rotary wheel is rotatably connected to the wheel-mounting extrusion. The microcontroller is enclosed within the protective housing. The rotary wheel, the primary joystick, and the at least one thumbstick are electronically connected to the microcontroller. The manipulation of the rotary wheel, the primary joystick, and the at least one thumbstick is translated into an input signal that is communicated to the computing device through the microcontroller.
