  • Patent number: 12290746
    Abstract: A device may include a first unit and a second unit. The first unit may include a first body that has a controller interface that is operatively connected to one or more processors disposed in the first body and configured to operatively connect to a gaming device. The first body may include one or more rumble motors to provide haptic feedback to a user in response to the gaming device. A first communication port may be operatively mounted to the first body and operatively connected to the one or more processors. The second unit may include a second body separate from the first body, one or more second rumble motors operatively installed to the second body, and a second communication port configured to communicatively connect to the first communication port such that the one or more processors effectively controls the one or more second rumble motors.

  • Publication number: 20250114693
    Abstract: A video game system controller control stick includes a control stick shaft and a control stick shell. The control stick shaft is rotatably positioned in a notch of the control stick shell and an end of the control stick shaft extends above the control stick shell. The control stick shaft includes a protrusion and the control stick shell includes a plurality of indents engageable by the protrusion to position the end of the control stick shaft at different heights with respect to the control stick shell. A first indent and a second indent are positioned such that rotation of the control stick shaft when the protrusion engages the first indent causes the protrusion to move into engagement with the second indent.

  • Patent number: 6989818
    Abstract: A manual input video game controller to be used with various video game machines for the purpose of controlling a game displayed upon a video monitor. The manual input video controller would include a plurality of digital action buttons along with a separate combination button allowing various combination maneuvers to be programmed into the video game controller in real time. The use of this combination button along with one of the input controllers would allow a particular stored combination of maneuvers to be implemented, without the loss of function of any of the digital action buttons.
