1. A dual pivot game controller comprising:

  • a base;

    a first rotating assembly coupled to the base by a first pivoting connection, the first pivoting connection enabling the first rotating assembly to rotate relative to the base, the first rotating assembly includes a first handle section configured to be gripped by a user'"'"'s hand;

    a second rotating assembly coupled to the base by a second pivoting connection, the second pivoting connection enabling the second rotating assembly to rotate relative to the base, the second rotating assembly includes a second handle section configured to be gripped by a user'"'"'s hand; and

    a sensor configured to signal a change in position of the first rotating assembly or the second rotating assembly,wherein;

    a first axis of rotation of the first pivoting connection and a second axis of rotation of the second pivoting connection are substantially non-parallel converging at an axes angle between 22° and

    82°

    , the first axis of rotation intersects the first handle section at a first intersection and the second axis of rotation intersects the second handle section at a second intersection; and

    the first rotating assembly is operationally coupled to the second rotating assembly such that rotation of the first rotating assembly around the first axis of rotation and rotation of the second rotating assembly around the second axis of rotation occur in tandem.
