1. A force sensing multi-axis gimbaled device, comprising:

  • (a) a multi-axis movement assembly, comprising;

    (i) an outer pivot plate having an opening;

    (ii) a middle pivot plate having an opening, the middle pivot plate pivotally received within the opening in the outer pivot plate; and

    (iii) an inner pivot plate, the inner pivot plate pivotally received within the opening in the middle pivot plate; and

    (b) a biasing assembly in communication with the multi-axis movement assembly, the biasing assembly configured to impose a first force on the multi-axis movement assembly when the multi-axis movement assembly is pivoted about a first axis, the biasing assembly configured to impose a second force on the multi-axis movement assembly when the multi-axis movement assembly is pivoted about a second axis substantially transverse to the first axis, and the biasing assembly configured to impose a third force on the multi-axis movement assembly when the multi-axis movement assembly is pivoted about a third axis.
