A joystick assembly having a non-preferential displacement characteristic. The joystick assembly includes a shaft member mounted for pivotal movement relative to a support platform throughout a plurality of angular positions. The support platform is adapted for placement in a video game cabinet in custom or retrofit applications. A plurality of springs connected to the shaft member serve to bias the shaft member in a neutral position which in alternative embodiments comprises a side-decent position and a center-detent position. In a preferred embodiment, the non-preferential displacement characteristic is achieved by pre-loading the springs. In one embodiment, the springs are generally parallel to the support platform at a depth which does not exceed the depth of the shaft member, thus enabling the joystick assembly to be mounted within a relatively small space.
