  • 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: 11437841
    Abstract: An inductive charging device can take the form of a game controller that is communicably coupled to a mobile device having a power source and has a retracted configuration and an extended configuration. The game controller can include a first control portion having one or more game controller inputs, a second control portion have one or more game controller inputs, and a charging unit coupleable to the first control portion and the second control portion. The charging unit can have a region that is sized and shaped to receive the mobile device, and an inductive charging apparatus, the inductive charging apparatus can be operable to selectively inductively charge the power source of the mobile device when the mobile device is received in the region.

  • Publication number: 20060217197
    Abstract: A video game controller including lights for providing visual feedback responsive to actions taking place in a video game. The visual feedback may be in terms of flashing lights, stationary lights, and the like. The lights are coupled to a rumble/vibration circuitry that controls any rumble/vibration motors that may be included in the game controller. If included, the rumble/vibration motors cause a rumble/vibration feeling in the controller during game play. Because the lights are coupled to the rumble/vibration circuitry, the lights are actuated each time signals are provided by the rumble/vibration circuitry, providing visual feedback that may complement or replace any tactile feedback from the rumble/vibration motors.
