[0002] With the rapid development of technology, people's expectations for electronic devices have expanded beyond simply controlling games; they increasingly value the tactile feel and realistic touch feedback. Consequently, electronic devices with force feedback have become increasingly widespread in recent years. However, this has also brought a new problem: users have different preferences regarding whether or not to use force feedback. Currently, electronic devices cannot automatically select whether or not to use force feedback based on the user's actual needs, thus impacting the user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0018] Optionally, the force feedback component includes:

[0019] Drive components; and

[0020] An extrusion member is connected to the driving member and can be driven to rotate by the driving member. When the adjustment switch is subjected to external force, it controls the driving member to adjust the extrusion member to abut against the trigger key or disengage from the trigger key.

Furthermore, the electronic device in this solution also includes an adjustment switch. When the user applies external force to the adjustment switch, the force feedback component can be adjusted to abut against the trigger button or disengage from the trigger button. Thus, when the user needs to use the force feedback function of the electronic device, the force feedback function can be activated by manually operating the adjustment switch to adjust the trigger button to abut against the trigger button. When the user does not need to use the force feedback function of the electronic device, the force feedback function can be deactivated by manually operating the adjustment switch to disengage from the trigger button and no longer provide corresponding resistance. In other words, the electronic device in this solution, based on the force feedback provided to the user through the force feedback component, further allows the user to manually operate the adjustment switch according to actual needs, so as to choose whether to use the force feedback function of the electronic device, thereby improving the user experience.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments.

Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. Additionally, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but only on the basis of being achievable by those skilled in the art. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, such a combination of technical solutions should be considered non-existent and not within the scope of protection claimed by this invention.

[0050] This invention proposes an electronic device, which can be a game controller, game console, or remote control, etc.

[0051] Please refer to the reference. Figures 1 to 7 In one embodiment of the present invention, the electronic device includes a carrier 10, a trigger 20, a force feedback component 30, and an adjustment switch 40. The trigger 20 is rotatably disposed on the carrier 10. The force feedback component 30 has a state of abutting against the trigger 20 and a state of disengaging from the trigger 20. When the adjustment switch 40 is subjected to an external force, it controls the force feedback component 30 to adjust to abutting against the trigger 20 or disengaging from the trigger 20.

[0052] In one embodiment of the present invention, the support member 10 can be used to install and support the trigger key 20 and other components of the electronic device, so that the components of the electronic device can be assembled into a whole. The support member 10 can be directly formed as the housing of the electronic device, or it can be set independently of the housing of the electronic device, and it can be a frame structure formed by combining plates or columns, or it can be a single structure, etc. This application does not limit the specifics of the support member 10, as long as it can realize the installation and support of the trigger key 20 and other components. The trigger key 20 can be used to provide an operation position for the user to apply force to the electronic device to perform a pressing operation, thereby driving the trigger key 20 to rotate and realize the input of relevant operation commands into the electronic device. The force feedback component 30 can be used to abut against the trigger key 20 or to disengage from the trigger key 20. Specifically, when the force feedback component 30 abuts against the trigger key 20, it can provide corresponding resistance to the trigger key 20 during the rotation driven by external force, thereby providing force feedback to the user. When the force feedback component 30 disengages from the trigger button 20, the trigger button 20 cannot provide corresponding resistance during its rotation, thus canceling the force feedback effect. Of course, when the force feedback component 30 abuts against the trigger button 20, it can maintain a certain degree of contact to provide a constant level of resistance, thus achieving a constant force feedback effect; alternatively, it can have different levels of contact to provide different levels of resistance, i.e., multiple levels of force feedback. The force feedback component 30 can also be mounted on the support member 10, allowing it and the trigger button 20 to be more compactly distributed, reducing the overall size of the electronic device. However, this application is not limited to this; the force feedback component 30 can also be installed and supported by other support components independent of the support member 10. The adjustment switch 40 can be used to allow the user to apply external force, and when applied by external force, control the force feedback component 30 to adjust to abut against or disengage from the trigger button 20. That is, by manually operating the adjustment switch 40, the force feedback function of the electronic device can be controlled and deactivated during use. Of course, when the force feedback component has different degrees of contact, or when it has multiple levels of force feedback effect, the adjustment switch 40 can also adjust the contact degree of the force feedback component 30 against the trigger button 20, thereby adjusting the magnitude of the resistance fed back by the force feedback module 30. The adjustment switch 40 can also be located on the support member 10, so that it and the trigger button 20 can be distributed more compactly, reducing the overall size of the electronic device. Of course, this application is not limited to this; the adjustment switch 40 can also be installed and supported by other support components independent of the support member 10.

[0053] In the electronic device of this invention, during use, when the user presses and drives the trigger button 20 to rotate relative to the support member 10, the force feedback component 30 can abut against the trigger button 20 to provide corresponding resistance, thereby realizing force feedback to the user during use. Furthermore, the electronic device in this solution also includes an adjustment switch 40. When the user applies external force to the adjustment switch 40, the force feedback component 30 can be adjusted to abut against the trigger button 20 or disengaged from the trigger button 20. Thus, when the user needs to use the force feedback function of the electronic device, the force feedback function can be activated by manually operating the adjustment switch 40 to adjust the trigger button 20 to abut against the trigger button 20. When the user does not need to use the force feedback function of the electronic device, the force feedback function can be deactivated by manually operating the adjustment switch 40 to disengage the trigger button 20 and no longer provide corresponding resistance. In other words, in addition to providing force feedback to the user through the force feedback component 30, the electronic device in this solution further allows the user to manually operate the adjustment switch 40 according to actual needs, so as to choose whether to use the force feedback function of the electronic device, thereby improving the user experience.

[0054] Please refer to the reference. Figure 6 and Figure 7 In one embodiment of the present invention, the adjustment switch 40 includes a switch body 41, a position detector 43, and a controller 45. The position detector 43 is electrically connected to the controller 45, and the controller 45 is electrically connected to the force feedback component 30. When the switch body 41 is subjected to an external force, the position detector 43 can detect the position of the switch body 41 and feed it back to the controller 45. The controller 45 controls the force feedback component 30 to adjust to abut against the trigger button 20 or to disengage from the trigger button 20.

[0055] In this embodiment, the switch body 41 provides a drive operation position for the user. When the user applies external force to drive the switch body 41, the position detector 43 can detect the position of the switch body 41 and transmit the position signal to the controller 45. Then, the controller 45 controls the force feedback component 30 to either abut against the trigger button 20 or disengage from the trigger button 20 according to the different positions of the switch body 41 (i.e., when the position detector 43 detects that the switch 40 has been driven to one position by the user, the controller 45 controls the force feedback component 30 to abut against the trigger button 20; when the position detector 43 detects that the switch 40 has been driven to another position by the user, the controller 45 controls the force feedback component 30 to disengage from the trigger button 20). This completes the adjustment of whether the electronic device has a force feedback function. During this adjustment process, the user only needs to easily drive the switch body 41, making the adjustment of whether the electronic device has a force feedback function simple and straightforward, thereby improving the convenience of the adjustment process and further enhancing the user experience. Both the position detector 43 and the controller 45 can be mounted on the support member 10 to improve the compactness of their installation. Alternatively, the position detector 43 and the controller 45 can be mounted on other support components independent of the support member 10. Furthermore, it should be noted that in other embodiments, the adjustment switch 40 may only include a switch body 41. This switch body 41 can, upon being subjected to external force by the user, directly overcome the contact pressure of the force feedback component 30 against the trigger button 20, thereby disengaging the force feedback function of the electronic device. When the electronic device needs to regain its force feedback function, the user applies external force in the opposite direction to drive the switch body 41, causing the switch body 41 to no longer contact the force feedback component 30, allowing the force feedback component 30 to contact and press the trigger button 20 again. Alternatively, the adjustment switch can also be a clutch component connected to the force feedback component 30 to control the contact or disengagement of the force feedback component 30 from the trigger button 20. In short, the process by which the adjustment switch 40 controls the force feedback component 30 to adjust to abut against the trigger key or disengage from the trigger key can be a combination of mechanical and electronic control, or it can be purely mechanical control.

[0056] Please refer to the reference. Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 as well as Figure 7 In one embodiment of the present invention, the switch body 41 is rotatably disposed on the support member 10, and the position detector 43 is a first potentiometer 431 disposed on the support member 10; when the switch body 41 is rotated relative to the support member 10 by an external force, the first potentiometer 431 can detect the rotation angle of the switch body 41.

[0057] In this embodiment, the switch body 41 is rotatable, allowing the position detector 43 to be controlled by the first potentiometer 431. The position of the switch body 41 is detected by detecting the rotation angle of the switch body 41 when subjected to an external force. In this case, only one position detector 43 is needed to detect the switch body 41 at different positions. This simplifies the structure of the electronic device, thereby reducing manufacturing costs, minimizing overall size, and improving installation convenience. Of course, this application is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the switch body 41 can be slidably mounted on the support member 10. In this case, two position detectors 43 can be used, which can be proximity sensors. The working process is as follows: when one of the two proximity sensors detects that the switch body 41 has been driven to a certain position by the user, the controller 45 controls the force feedback component 30 to abut against the trigger button 20; when the other of the two proximity sensors detects that the switch body 41 has been driven to another position by the user, the controller 45 controls the force feedback component 30 to disengage from the trigger button 20.

[0058] Please refer to the reference. Figure 6 , Figure 7 as well as Figure 8 In one embodiment of the present invention, the carrier 10 is provided with a rotating shaft 11, and the switch body 41 is provided with a rotating hole 411. The rotating shaft 11 is inserted into the rotating hole 411 so that the switch body 41 is rotatably disposed on the carrier 10. The switch body 41 is also provided with a mounting cylinder 413, which is arranged around the rotating hole 411 and inserted into the first potentiometer 431.

[0059] In this embodiment, the carrier 10 and the switch body 41 are rotatably connected via a rotating shaft 11 and a rotating hole 411. This allows for quick installation by simply inserting the rotating shaft 11 into the rotating hole 411, thus improving the ease of installation of the switch body 41. The switch body 41 is connected to the first potentiometer 431 via a mounting sleeve 413, ensuring a stable installation and facilitating the first potentiometer 431's normal and stable clamping of the adjustment switch 40's rotation angle. This arrangement also allows for a more compact installation, reducing space requirements and further improving installation convenience. The rotating shaft 11 can be separate from the carrier 10, or it can be an integral part of the carrier 10. Furthermore, it should be noted that this application is not limited to this; in other embodiments, the carrier 10 and the switch body 41 can also be rotatably connected via a hinge structure or similar means. Alternatively, the carrier 10 may have a rotating hole 411, while the switch body 41 may have a rotating shaft 11 for rotatable connection. At this time, the first potentiometer 431 can be directly plugged into the rotating shaft 11.

[0060] Please refer to the reference. Figure 8 and Figure 9 In one embodiment of the present invention, one of the rotating shaft 11 inserted into the rotating hole 411 and the hole wall of the rotating hole 411 is provided with a positioning rib 111, and the other is provided with at least two positioning grooves 412; when the switch body 41 is rotated to the point where the force feedback component 30 is adjusted to abut against the trigger key 20, the positioning rib 111 can be elastically embedded in one of the at least two positioning grooves 412 to limit and fix the switch body 41; when the switch body 41 is rotated to the point where the force feedback component 30 is adjusted to disengage from the trigger key 20, the positioning rib 111 can be elastically embedded in the other of the at least two positioning grooves 412 to limit and fix the switch body 41.

[0061] In this embodiment, by providing a positioning rib 111 and at least two positioning slots 412, when the switch body 41 is driven by an external force to adjust the force feedback component 30 to abut against the trigger button 20, the positioning rib 111 cooperates with one positioning slot 412 to limit and fix the switch body 41 relative to the support member 10, thereby ensuring that the force feedback component 30 can be stably in the state of abutting against the trigger button 20. When the switch body 41 is driven by an external force to adjust the force feedback component 30 to disengage from the trigger button 20, the positioning rib 111 cooperates with the other positioning slot 412 to limit and fix the switch body 41 relative to the support member 10, thereby ensuring that the force feedback component 30 can be stably in the state of disengaging from the trigger button 20. That is, the provision of a positioning rib 111 and at least two positioning slots 412 ensures that the adjustment switch 40 can be stably limited in position when driven by an external force applied by the user to both the position where the electronic device has force feedback function and the position where force feedback function is canceled. Simultaneously, the elastic embedding and limiting action of the positioning rib 111 and the positioning groove 412 also provides the user with a prompt of positioning when the user applies external force to drive the switch body 41. Specifically, the positioning rib 111 is elastically embedded in a positioning groove 412, and the limiting action of the two provides the user with a certain resistance feedback from the switch body 41, allowing the user to perceive the position of the switch body 41 through changes in tactile sensation when applying external force to drive the switch body 41. Furthermore, it should be noted that this application is not limited to this. In other embodiments, when the switch body 41 itself has a relatively tight fit with the support member 10, i.e., when the switch body 41 can stop at any position, the electronic device in this application may not have the positioning groove 412 and the positioning rib 111. Additionally, the number of positioning grooves 412 can be only two, corresponding to the position of the switch body 41 when the force feedback component 30 is adjusted to abut against the trigger button 20, and the position of the switch body 41 when the force feedback component 30 is adjusted to disengage from the trigger button 20. Of course, when the adjustment switch 40 can be used to control the force feedback component 30 to provide different force feedback, the positioning groove 412 can also be provided with three or more, so that when the adjustment switch 40 adjusts the force feedback component 30 to different levels of force feedback, the switch body 41 can be correspondingly limited and fixed.

[0062] Please refer to the reference. Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 as well as Figure 7 In one embodiment of the present invention, the force feedback component 30 includes a driving member 31 and a pressing member 32. The pressing member 32 is connected to the driving member 31 and can be driven to rotate by the driving member 31. When the adjustment switch 40 is subjected to an external force, it controls the driving member 31 to drive the pressing member 32 to adjust to abut against the trigger key 20 or to disengage from the trigger key 20.

[0063] In this embodiment, when the switch body 41 of the regulating switch 40 is driven to a certain position by an external force applied by the user, the controller 45 can control the driving member 31 to drive the pressing member 32 to rotate until it abuts against the pressing trigger button 20, based on the position signal of the switch body 41 transmitted by the position detector 43, thereby activating the force feedback function of the electronic device. When the switch body 41 of the regulating switch 40 is driven to another position by an external force applied by the user, the controller 45 can control the driving member 31 to drive the pressing member 32 to rotate until it disengages from the trigger button 20, based on the position signal of the switch body 41 transmitted by the position detector 43, thereby deactivating the force feedback function of the electronic device. Specifically, the driving member 31 drives the pressing member 32 to abut against the pressing trigger button 20, so that when the trigger button 20 is driven to rotate by the user and overcomes the driving force of the driving member 31 to abut against and drive the pressing member 32, the pressing member 32 also has the same type of movement as the trigger button 20, i.e., both are rotational movements. This ensures good contact between the pressing member 32 and the trigger button 20 during movement, allowing the pressing member 32 to stably press and abut the trigger button 20, thus providing stable resistance feedback. To facilitate the force feedback component 30 providing desired force feedback, in one embodiment, the force feedback component 30 may further include a second potentiometer 33, which is located on the support member 10 and axially connected to the output of the drive member 31. Thus, when the force feedback component 30 is adjusted to abut against the trigger button 20 by adjusting the switch body 41 of the adjustment switch 40, when the user presses the drive trigger button 20 to rotate relative to the support member 10, the trigger button 20 can abut against and rotate the pressing member 32 in the force feedback component 30. The second potentiometer 33 in the force feedback component 30 can also detect the rotation angle of the pressing member 32 when it is abutted by the trigger button 20 and transmit this rotation angle signal to the controller 45. Subsequently, the controller 45 can control the drive member 31 to output a corresponding torque based on the rotation angle transmitted by the second potentiometer 33. The torque of the drive member 31 is converted into abutment pressure and applied to the trigger button 20 through the contact between the pressing member 32 and the trigger button 20, providing corresponding resistance to the rotation of the trigger button 20. This achieves different damping force feedback for the electronic device. Of course, in other embodiments, to enable the electronic device to provide different damping force feedback, when the force feedback component 30 does not include the second potentiometer 33, the switch body 41 of the adjusting switch 40 can also have multiple force feedback positions. When the switch body 41 is driven by the user to each force feedback position, the controller 45 can control the drive member 31 of the force feedback component 40 to output a corresponding torque based on the position information detected by the position detector 43. The torque of the drive member 31 is converted into abutment pressure and applied to the trigger button 20 through the contact between the pressing member 32 and the trigger button 20, providing corresponding resistance to the rotation of the trigger button 20.Furthermore, when the force feedback assembly 30 is adjusted by the adjustment switch 40 to disengage from the trigger button 20, please refer to the following to ensure that the pressing member 32 of the force feedback assembly 30 can be more stably positioned in a position not in contact with the trigger button 20. Figure 5 The switch body 41 of the regulating switch 40 can be engaged with the locking block 414. Thus, when the switch body 41 of the regulating switch 40 is driven by an external force applied by the user to the point where the driving member 31 drives the pressing member 32 to disengage from the trigger, the locking block 414 on the switch body 41 of the regulating switch 40 can engage with the pressing member 32, thereby allowing the pressing member 32 to be more stably fixed at that location. Furthermore, it should be noted that this application is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the driving member 31 of the force feedback assembly 30 can also be a cylinder or a linear motor, etc., driving the pressing member 32 to slide along the rotation axis 11 of the trigger key 20, abutting against the end face of the connecting shaft rotatably connected to the support member 10 on the trigger key 20 to provide force feedback, or disengaging from the end face of the connecting shaft rotatably connected to the support member 10 on the trigger key 20 to cancel the force feedback. Of course, the force feedback assembly 30 can also consist of only an elastic arm, which can elastically abut against the trigger key 20 to apply a pressing force to provide force feedback. At this time, when the switch body 41 of the regulating switch 40 is driven to a position by the user's external force, it can overcome the elastic force of the elastic arm and drive it to disengage from the trigger key 20, thereby canceling the force feedback function of the electronic device.

Figure 6 , Figure 7 as well as Figure 10 In one embodiment of the present invention, the pressing member 32 includes a fixed arm 321, a connecting arm 323, and a pressing arm 325. The driving member 31 has an output shaft 311 parallel to the rotation axis 11 of the trigger key 20. The fixed arm 321 is connected to the output shaft 311 and is set at an angle to the output shaft 311. One end of the connecting arm 323 is connected to the fixed arm 321, and the other end extends along the direction of the fixed arm 321 toward the driving member 31. One end of the pressing arm 325 is connected to the end of the connecting arm 323 away from the fixed arm 321, and the other end extends along the direction of the connecting arm 323 away from the driving member 31. It has a state of abutting against the trigger key 20 and a state of disengaging from the trigger key 20.

[0065] In this embodiment, the axial direction of the drive member 31 is parallel to the rotation axis 11 of the trigger key 20, allowing for a compact and space-efficient arrangement. The connecting arm 323 is angled to the fixed arm 321 and the pressing arm 325, extending along the axial direction of the output shaft 311, giving the pressing member 32 a roughly Z-shaped structure. This allows the pressing member 32 to fully utilize the space on one radial side of the drive member 31 and the space between the drive member 31 and the trigger key 20, resulting in a very compact arrangement of the pressing member 32, the drive member 31, and the trigger key 20. This significantly reduces the overall volume of the force feedback assembly 30 (i.e., the axial length of the force feedback assembly 30 along the drive member 31 is the same as the axial length of the drive member 31), facilitating the installation of the trigger key 20 and the force feedback assembly 30 within the limited mounting space on the support member 10. Specifically, when the regulating switch 40 is driven by an external force applied by the user to the point that the driving member 31 drives the pressing member 32 to disengage from the trigger, the locking block 414 on the switch body 41 of the regulating switch 40 can engage with the pressing arm 325 of the pressing member 32. Additionally, it should be noted that in other embodiments, the pressing member 32 may also consist of only one pressing arm 325, with one end directly connected to the output shaft 311 of the driving member 31 and the other end abutting against the trigger key 20.

[0066] Please refer to the reference. Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 10 In one embodiment of the present invention, the trigger key 20 is provided with an abutment 21, which extends in the direction toward the drive member 31; the surface of the pressing member 32 facing the abutment 21 is provided with a limiting groove 327, and one end of the abutment 21 away from the trigger key 20 is embedded in the limiting groove 327 and moves in the limiting groove 327 when the trigger key 20 rotates relative to the support member 10.

[0067] In this embodiment, the abutment 21 has a certain length, so the pressing member 32 in the force feedback assembly 30 does not need to be relatively long. This enhances the overall strength of the pressing member 32, improving the stability of its contact with the abutment 21 on the trigger button 20, thus facilitating stable force feedback from the feedback assembly to the trigger button 20. Simultaneously, this design also makes the overall structure of the pressing member 32 relatively small, resulting in a smaller trajectory during rotation and reducing the possibility of interference with other structures of the electronic device. It also reduces the size of the clearance space required during the rotation of the pressing member 32. The limiting groove 327 of the pressing member 32 limits the contact between the abutment 21 and the pressing member 32, reducing the possibility of wobbling in the direction of the rotation axis 11 of the trigger button 20. This improves the stability of their contact, further enhancing the stability of the force feedback assembly 30 in providing force feedback. In the case where the extrusion member 32 includes a fixed arm 321, a connecting arm 323, and an extrusion arm 325, the extrusion arm 325 is provided with a limiting groove 327. In one embodiment, to reduce the frictional force on the abutment member 21 moving within the limiting groove 327, please refer to... Figure 3 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 6 The end of the abutment 21 furthest from the trigger button 20 may be provided with a rolling element 211, which is embedded in the limiting groove 327. When the trigger button 20 is driven to rotate by the user, causing the abutment 21 to drive the pressing arm 325, the rolling friction between the two reduces the frictional force generated during the abutment and driving action, thereby improving the smoothness of the feel when the trigger button 20 is pressed and further enhancing the user experience. The rolling element 211 can be a bearing, allowing for direct purchase and use from the market. Alternatively, the rolling element 211 can be a circular wheel or a spherical wheel.

[0068] Please refer to the reference. Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 In one embodiment of the present invention, the carrier 10 includes a main body 13 and a grip 15. The trigger 20, the force feedback assembly 30, and the adjustment switch 40 are all disposed in the main body 13. The main body 13 is defined to have a vertical direction. Part of the trigger 20 passes through one side wall of the main body 13 and is exposed to the outside. The adjustment switch 40 is located on the side of the main body 13 away from the trigger 20 and partially passes through the upper surface of the main body 13 and is exposed to the outside. One end of the grip 15 is connected to the side of the main body 13 away from the trigger 20, and the other end is inclined downward in the direction away from the grip 15.

[0069] In this embodiment, the carrier 10 can be formed as the housing of the electronic device. The trigger button 20, force feedback component 30, and adjustment switch 40 are all housed within the main body 13 of the carrier 10, which provides isolation and protection for these components, thereby reducing their susceptibility to damage from external objects and extending their service life. The adjustment switch 40 is positioned on the side of the main body 13 near the grip portion 15 and extends through the upper surface of the main body 13. This allows the user to easily apply external force to the adjustment switch 40 with their thumb when holding the grip portion 15 of the electronic device. This eliminates the need for the user to change their grip posture before actuating the adjustment switch 40, thus improving the convenience of actuating the switch 40. Furthermore, this arrangement allows the trigger button 20, force feedback component 30, and adjustment switch 40 to be sequentially distributed in the direction away from the trigger button 20 on the grip portion 15. This orderly distribution and efficient use of the installation space in this direction further contributes to reducing the overall size of the electronic device. In this embodiment, a portion of the switch body 41 of the regulating switch 40 passes through the upper surface of the main body 13 and is exposed to the outside. It should also be noted that this application is not limited to this; in other embodiments, the regulating switch 40 may be located at other positions on the support member 10.

[0070] Please refer to the reference. Figures 1 to 5 In one embodiment of the present invention, the adjustment switch 40 is provided with a first mark 415 and a second mark 416, which are sequentially distributed in the direction facing or away from the trigger button 20 of the grip portion 15; the upper surface of the main body portion 13 is provided with a passage opening 131 through which a part of the main body portion 13 passes. When the adjustment switch 40 controls the force feedback component 30 to be adjusted to abut against the trigger button 20, the first mark 415 can be exposed through the passage opening 131; when the adjustment switch 40 controls the force feedback component 30 to be adjusted to be disengaged from the trigger button 20, the second mark 416 can be exposed through the passage opening 131.

[0071] In this embodiment, the first identifier 415 and the second identifier 416 allow the user to promptly and effectively determine whether the electronic device is in a force feedback function state or a force feedback function deactivated state after the user applies external force to adjust the force feedback component 30 to abut against or disengage from the trigger button 20. This avoids the user needing to press the trigger button 20 to feel the state of the trigger device, thus improving the convenience of using the electronic device. Specifically, the switch body 41 of the adjustment switch 40 is provided with the first identifier 415 and the second identifier 416. The first identifier 415 can be the letter "ON," which indicates that the electronic device is in a force feedback function state when it is exposed to the outside through the opening 131. The second identifier 416 can be the letter "OFF," which indicates that the electronic device is in a force feedback function deactivated state when it is exposed to the outside through the opening 131. At this time, both the first identifier 415 and the second identifier 416 are text identifiers, which does not increase the size of the regulating switch 40, thus ensuring that the size of the regulating switch 40 is minimized. Furthermore, it should be noted that this application is not limited to this; in other embodiments, the first identifier 415 can also be a text identifier, such as "on," and the second identifier 416 can be a corresponding text identifier, such as "off." Alternatively, the first identifier 415 and the second identifier 416 can also be graphic identifiers, as long as they are different and can be distinguished by the user. In addition, when the regulating switch 40 can be used to adjust the force feedback component 30 to provide different levels of force feedback, the switch body 41 of the regulating switch 40 can further be provided with multiple force feedback level identifiers. That is, when the switch body 41 of the regulating switch 40 is driven by the user to a level identifier that is exposed through the port 131, the force feedback component 30 outputs a force feedback of the corresponding level identifier.
