A controller having a joystick which can be moved in three dimensions is disclosed. The joystick is connected by a Y (yaw) link which is, in turn, connected to a P (pitch) link, which is, in turn connected to an R (roll) link. The R link is rotatable about a fixed-position mounting base. In this manner, one can rotate a joystick around any of three axes. When used to control a vehicle, rotation around the yaw and roll axes can steer (with yaw being more fine-tuned steering), and rotation around the pitch axis can control acceleration and deceleration. A starting or center position for each link can be defined, and the further a link is rotated and/or force increases on tires being steered from this central position, the more resistance is applied, in embodiments of the disclosed technology.
