A brake controller having independently adjustable friction and detent torque to allow for easy adjustment of handle feel without changing or replacing components. The brake handle is coupled to a cam that rotates with the handle and has a series of divots in its outer circumference corresponding to established brake handle positions. A detent roller is biased by an adjustable spring into engagement with the outer circumference of the cam and thus into the divots when the handle is moved. A separately adjustable spring biases a lateral surface of the cam into engagement with a frictional surface. Independent adjustment of the two spring can adjust both detent and friction torque, thus allowing a user to easily adjust handle feel without having to change or replace handle components
