  • Patent number: 10013051
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a modular apparatus and system for providing customized, reconfigurable user inputs. In an aspect, there is provided a modular apparatus comprising a plurality of reconfigurable Input Modules with different types of user inputs, such as buttons, sliders, knobs, joysticks, trackballs, touch pads, touch screens, and other types of user interfaces. The Input Modules may be physically interconnected to a Master Module which is adapted to communicate with each Input Module and to a System Controller Application running on a connected computing device. The Input Modules are reconfigurable into any number of different physical layouts. The Master Module determines the physical layout of the connected Input Modules, and communicates the layout to the System Controller Application. The function of each Input Module is then programmed via the System Controller Application and the Master Module for performing specific functions in a compatible computer application.
