A controller or converter structured for allowing hand inputs to be converted or translated into outputs, the controller structured with members moveable relative to a base or housing to actuate a plurality of sensors for defining output signal(s). In some embodiments a tactile feedback motor is mounted as a component of the controller for providing vibration to be felt by a hand. In some embodiments the sensors are proportional or variable output sensors. A preferred controller communicates wirelessly with a host device.
