[0041] In this embodiment, the connector base 2 is set as a hollow shell structure, and the metal spring pin 6 or the metal contact 51 is set in the shell structure to provide an installation position for the metal spring pin 6 or the metal contact 51. A second connecting hole is provided on the end of the connector base 2 facing the connector 1 to facilitate the metal spring pin 6 to pass through, so that the metal spring pin 6 and the metal contact 51 can contact each other.

[0042] Specifically, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a flexible flat cable 91 is passed through one end of the connector base 2 away from the connector 1, and the flexible flat cable 91 is connected to the metal contact 51 or the metal spring pin 6 in the connector base 2, and the other end of the flexible flat cable 91 is connected to the circuit board 92. When the mobile device is plugged into the connector 1, the flexible flat cable 91 can transmit signals between the game controller and the mobile device, making it convenient to operate the mobile device through the game controller.

[0043] Alternatively, if Figure 2 As shown, the interface structure also includes a movable frame 81 and a spring 82. A through hole is opened on the side surface of the connector seat 2 away from the connector 1. The movable frame 81 is inserted into the through hole. One end of the movable frame 81 located inside the connector seat 2 abuts against the metal spring pin 6 or the metal contact 51.
