  • Patent number: 11826639
    Abstract: A video game controller has triggers that can be depressed by a user. The triggers have associated trigger stops actuatable to limit the travel of the trigger when depressed by the user. The trigger stop can be selectively operated by the user to vary the trigger stop location, and therefore the amount of travel of the trigger when depressed, between multiple (e.g., more than 2, more than 3, more than 4, 5, etc.) positions.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20210394047
    Abstract: Videogame controllers can have a housing and a trigger movably coupled to the housing, the trigger pivotable from an undepressed position to a fully depressed position. A trigger stop assembly of the controller can include a clutch lever rotatable about a second axis, a clutch actuator attached to the clutch lever and configured to at least partially extend through an opening in the housing. A plunger is rotatable about a third axis and configured to define a travel limit of the trigger when the trigger is fully depressed and contacts at least a portion of the plunger. The plunger comprises a plurality of surfaces configured to releasably engage at least a portion of the clutch lever, where the travel limit of the trigger is adjustable between a plurality of travel limit positions by releasably engaging said at least a portion of the clutch lever with a different surface of the plurality of surface of the plunger.
