There is provided a control stick module (10) comprising: a first shaft (100); a second shaft (110); a joint (140) connecting the first and second shafts; and a gimbal mechanism (120); wherein the joint is nested within the gimbal mechanism. The gimbal mechanism provides axes of rotation (201, 202) for the first shaft (100) and the joint provides axes of rotation (203, 204, 205) for the first shaft (100); and the axes of rotation (201, 202) provided by the gimbal mechanism intersect at a point corresponding to a point of intersection of the axes (203, 204, 205) provided by the joint.
