A method and apparatus are disclosed for a steerable catheter control handle for deflecting a catheter. The control handle comprises an actuator and a means for deflecting the catheter upon actuation of the actuator, the means for deflecting being coupled to the actuator. The control handle further comprises an inefficiency generator configured to interact with the means for deflecting the catheter, wherein the inefficiency generator provides increasing resistance to actuation, requiring increasing force required to actuate the actuator upon increasing deflection of the catheter.
