Abstract: A hand held controller for a games console comprising an outer case and a plurality of controls located on a front end and top of the controller, the controller being shaped to be held in both hands of a user such that the user's thumbs are positioned to operate controls located on the top of the controller and the user's index fingers are positioned to operate controls located on the front of the controller. At least one control located on the top of the controller is configured for two-dimensional input control, the at least one control being substantially aligned with the biomechanics of the user's thumb.

Abstract: The invention provides an improved controller (10) for a games console. The invention is a games controller (10) that is intended to be held by a user in both hands in the same manner as a conventional controller (1). Additionally, the controller of the invention (10) may comprise the same controls (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) as a conventional controller (1). The controller of the present invention (10) is advantageous as it additionally comprises four additional controls (11A, 11B, 11C, 11D) located on the rear of the controller (10) in a position to be operated by the middle fingers of a user (12). The additional controllers (11A, 11B, 11C, 11D) may be paddle levers and may replicate the functions of one or more of the controls (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) located on the front or top of the controller (10).

Abstract: A hand held controller for a games console comprising an outer case, a plurality of controls located on a front end and/or top of the controller, at least one additional control located on a back of the controller, a control unit for controlling a mode of operation of the controller and at least one magnetic sensor in communication with the control unit. The control unit is configured to receive a signal from the at least one magnetic sensor in dependence upon a magnetic field being detected by the at least one magnetic sensor and the control unit is configured to determine a mode of operation of the controller in dependence upon the signal received from the at least one magnetic sensor.

Abstract: A game controller for controlling video games or other electronic interactive systems, having an adjustable trigger system for calibration or customized control of trigger action. The game controller includes a controller chassis and an actuator system, which includes a trigger body, a trigger mechanism chassis, a strike plate coupled to the trigger body, a first trigger adjustment control screw received in a screw thread disposed within the controller chassis, and a second trigger adjustment control screw received in a screw thread disposed within the controller chassis, wherein a portion of each of the first trigger adjustment control screw and second trigger adjustment control screw engages with a respective portion of the strike plate, and said portion of each of the first trigger adjustment control screw and second trigger adjustment control screw each create an end stop to limit the actuator movement of the trigger body.

Abstract: A game controller for controlling electronic games comprising: a controller chassis and an actuator system including: an actuator body; an actuator mechanism chassis; a detent chassis comprising at least one detent for arresting movement of the actuator body to create an end stop to limit the actuator movement; wherein the detent chassis is rotationally mounted within the actuator body such that the detent chassis can be rotated between at least a first position in which said at least one detent is in a stowed condition and at least a second position in which one of said at least one detent is in a deployed condition.
