Abstract

The utility model discloses a strain type gamepad key which comprises a key cap, a key arranged on the bottom side of the key cap and a strain gauge device arranged on the periphery of the key. The strain gauge device comprises a strain gauge substrate and a strain gauge, when the key is normally and vertically pressed down to touch the original key and swings obliquely, the bottom edge of the key presses the strain gauge substrate to change the resistance value of the strain gauge, and the action and posture of the key are detected by measuring the resistance change. The strain gauge substrate adopts an annular design, the strain gauges are uniformly distributed, and generally, four or eight strain gauges are arranged to realize all-directional swinging. The strain gauges are electrically connected with the control circuit, the control circuit controls roles or elements in the game to execute additional actions according to resistance changes, the control function of a single key is enriched, and game interactivity is improved.
