[0002] With the rapid development of intelligent mobile terminals (such as mobile phones, tablet computers), there are more and more entertainment activities that can be carried out on intelligent mobile terminals, such as watching movies, listening to music, playing games, etc. Especially in the aspect of games, traditional electronic games are controlled by a handle connecting a control button through a display screen, or a dedicated game console. It has to be said that the development of electronic games to date is a comprehensive innovation. Games can be directly controlled by touching on the touch screen of an intelligent mobile terminal, and game applications can be downloaded through the network to freely change the types of games. In recent years, mobile phone applications for games have emerged in an endless stream, especially operation-based games, which are widely loved by young people. In operation-based games, it is often necessary to click on the mobile phone screen to perform operations such as moving positions, aiming, and shooting. Since mobile phones or tablet computers are usually flat and square devices, when holding the mobile phone or tablet computer at the left and right corners with the hand for a long time to play mobile games, the fingers will be uncomfortable. When playing games and controlling a mobile phone or tablet computer, usually the thumb is used for control, and the other fingers are on the back of the mobile phone or tablet computer, or the index finger, middle finger, and ring finger are on the back of the device, and the little finger is usually leaning obliquely on the lower side edge of the device. In this way, the little finger is easily damaged in the finger joints and nerves after being in this state for a long time. Therefore, researchers in related fields urgently need to design relevant auxiliary equipment to improve the comfort of controlling and holding a mobile phone or tablet computer when playing games.

[0003] To enable the game handle to adapt to mobile phones and tablet computers of different sizes, some game handles include two operating handles and a telescopic clamping mechanism fixedly connected to the two operating handles, and use the telescopic property of the telescopic clamping mechanism to clamp and fix mobile terminal devices such as mobile phones and tablet computers.
