  • Publication number: 20090239665
    Abstract: A brandable thumbstick cover for video game controllers includes a thumbstick cap and an adapter ring meant to cover the thumbstick on the game controller. The thumbstick cap is the primary location for branding or inclusion of video game related images and text, which may appear on any surface of the thumbstick cap. The adapter ring is used to provide removable attachment between the thumbstick cap and the thumbstick itself and allows for a single sized thumbstick cap to be used across differently sized thumbsticks. The bottom cavity portion of the adapter ring is sized appropriately so as to receive the upper portion of the thumbstick and snap into place or be held by friction and/or pressure. The upper portion of the adapter ring provides a mechanism for attachment of the thumbstick cap. Alternative embodiments include the elimination of the adapter ring and the direct attachment of the thumbstick cap to the thumbstick.
