[0026] In order to make the above features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, embodiments are given below with reference to the accompanying drawings for detailed description.

[0027] Example 1:

[0028] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this embodiment provides a game controller with switchable trigger buttons, comprising a housing 1, a conversion disk 2, and at least one button 3. The conversion disk 2 is rotatably mounted within the housing 1. At least one conductive rubber key 4 and at least one switch key 5 are mounted on the conversion disk 2. The at least one button 3 is slidably mounted on the housing 1 and positioned above the conversion disk 2. The housing 1 is mounted with a drive assembly 6 that drives the conversion disk 2 to rotate the conductive rubber key 4 or the switch key 5 and is positioned below the button 3. The housing 1 is also provided with a drive key 7 that controls the drive assembly 6 to rotate the conversion disk 2. When a user uses the game controller, the user switches the game mode according to the desired gaming feel. The user controls the drive assembly 6 via the drive key 7 to rotate the conversion disk 2, thereby causing the conversion disk 2 to switch the conductive rubber key 4 and the switch key 5, such that the conductive rubber key 4 is positioned below the button 3 or the switch key 5 is positioned below the button 3. This allows for flexible switching between the conductive rubber key 4 and the switch. The position of the conductive rubber key 4 and the switch key 5 is not fixed, and the user can interchange the conductive rubber key 4 and the switch key 5 according to their needs. This design provides flexibility, allowing players to adjust the mode according to their own habits or specific gaming requirements, thereby improving gaming experience and operational efficiency. Specifically, when the conductive rubber key 4 is switched below the button 3, the conductive rubber key 4 mainly realizes the conductive effect through the conductive rubber adhesive. When the button 3 is pressed, the conductive rubber contacts the contact point below to achieve electrical connection, providing a straight up and down triggering method, so that the button 3 feels relatively stiff when pressed. When the game requires a stiffer feel, it can be switched to the conductive rubber key 4. If the switch key 5 is switched below the button 3, the switch key 5 is also called a mechanical micro switch button 3, which is triggered by the internal metal contact point and provides a "click" tactile feedback. This feedback is widely regarded as a high-quality feel. The trigger stroke of the mechanical button 3 is usually short, and the trigger can be completed in a very short time, providing a fast and accurate input experience when the button 3 is pressed. When the game requires fast and accurate, it can be switched to the switch key 5.

[0029] Furthermore, the conversion disk 2 is provided with external teeth 8 on the side facing the drive assembly 6. A drive gear 9 is provided at the output end of the drive assembly 6, meshing with the external teeth 8. The drive assembly 6 drives the drive gear 9 to rotate, thereby meshing the drive gear 9 with the external teeth 8, causing the conversion disk 2 to rotate the conductive rubber key 4 and the switch key 5. Specifically, the drive assembly 6 is a drive motor 10, and the drive key 7 is a toggle switch electrically connected to the drive motor 10. A sliding slot 11 is defined on the back of the housing 1, and the toggle switch is slidably positioned within the sliding slot 11. When in use, by pushing the toggle switch from one end of the sliding slot 11 to the other end, the drive motor 10 is started to operate in the forward direction, and the operation of the drive motor 10 causes the drive gear 9 to rotate, and then the drive gear 9 drives the conversion disk 2 through the outer teeth 8 to drive the conductive rubber key 4 and the switch key 5 to rotate, so that the positions of the conductive rubber key 4 and the switch key 5 are switched, and then the drive motor 10 stops. When the toggle switch is switched in the opposite direction, the drive motor 10 is started to operate in the reverse direction, and the operation of the drive motor 10 causes the drive gear 9 to rotate, and then the drive gear 9 drives the conversion disk 2 through the outer teeth 8 to drive the conductive rubber key 4 and the switch key 5 to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the conductive rubber key 4 and the switch key 5 are reset, and the drive motor 10 stops to achieve the conversion.

[0030] Furthermore, there are four buttons 3, which are arranged equidistantly around the axis of the conversion disk 2. That is, the four buttons 3 are the ABXY buttons of the game controller, and the ABXY buttons correspond to the four commands in the game. Specifically, there are four conductive rubber keys 4 and four switch keys 5, which are staggered equidistantly around the axis of the conversion disk 2. The four conductive rubber keys 4 or the four switch keys 5 are located directly below the four buttons 3. The four conductive rubber keys 4 and the four switch keys 5 are arranged to correspond to the ABXY buttons of the game controller. That is, in the initial state, the four conductive rubber keys 4 are located directly below the ABXY buttons, so that the ABXY buttons feel relatively stiff when pressed, which is suitable for games that require a stiffer feel. After the conversion, the four switch keys 5 are located directly below the ABXY buttons, which provides a fast and accurate input experience when pressed, which is suitable for games that require fast and accurate input.

[0031] Furthermore, a circuit board 14 electrically connected to the conductive rubber key 4 and the switch key 5 is installed below the conversion disk 2. The conductive rubber key 4 and the switch key 5 are controlled and signal transmitted via the circuit board 14.

[0032] Another embodiment is substantially similar to the first embodiment, differing primarily in that the shift disk 2 is provided with external teeth 8 on the side facing the drive assembly 6. The drive assembly 6 is a rotating gear that meshes with the external teeth 8. The drive assembly 6 drives the rotating gear to rotate, and the meshing of the rotating gear with the external teeth 8 causes the shift disk 2 to rotate the conductive rubber key 4 and the switch key 5. Specifically, the drive key 7 is a rotating rod coaxially disposed with the rotating gear, protruding from the housing 1. During use, the rotating rod is rotated, thereby rotating the rotating gear. The rotating gear then drives the shift disk 2 via the external teeth 8, rotating the conductive rubber key 4 and the switch key 5, thereby switching their positions. Reverse rotation of the rotating rod, thereby driving the rotating gear in the opposite direction, drives the shift disk 2 via the external teeth 8, rotating the conductive rubber key 4 and the switch key 5 in the opposite direction, thereby resetting the conductive rubber key 4 and the switch key 5 and achieving the desired position. This embodiment is not illustrated.

[0033] Example 2:

[0034] like Figure 5-Figure 8As shown, this embodiment provides a game controller with switchable trigger buttons 3, comprising a housing 1, a conversion disk 2, and at least one button 3. The conversion disk 2 is rotatably mounted within the housing 1. At least one conductive rubber key 4 and at least one switch key 5 are rotatably mounted on the conversion disk 2. The at least one button 3 is slidably mounted on the housing 1 and positioned above the conversion disk 2. The housing 1 is mounted with a drive assembly 6 that drives the conversion disk 2 to rotate the conductive rubber key 4 or the switch key 5, and is positioned below the button 3. The housing 1 is also provided with a drive key 7 that controls the drive assembly 6 to rotate the conversion disk 2. When a user uses the game controller, they switch modes based on their gaming experience. The drive key 7 controls the drive assembly 6 to rotate the conversion disk 2, thereby causing the conversion disk 2 to switch the positions of the conductive rubber key 4 and the switch key 5, such that the conductive rubber key 4 is positioned below the button 3, or the switch key 5 is positioned below the button 3. This allows for flexible switching between the conductive rubber key 4 and the switch. The position of the conductive rubber key 4 and the switch key 5 is not fixed, and users can interchange the modes of the conductive rubber key 4 and the switch key 5 according to their needs. This design provides flexibility, allowing players to adjust the modes based on their own habits or specific gaming requirements, thereby improving gaming experience and operational efficiency. Specifically, when the conductive rubber key 4 is switched below the button 3, the conductive rubber key 4 mainly realizes the conductive effect through the conductive rubber adhesive. When the button 3 is pressed, the conductive rubber contacts the contact point below to achieve electrical connection, providing a straight up and down triggering method, so that the button 3 feels relatively stiff when pressed. When the game requires a stiffer feel, it can be switched to the conductive rubber key 4. If the switch key 5 is switched below the button 3, the switch key 5 is also called a mechanical micro switch button 3, which is triggered by the internal metal contact point and provides a "click" tactile feedback. This feedback is widely regarded as a high-quality feel. The trigger stroke of the mechanical button 3 is usually short, and the trigger can be completed in a very short time, providing a fast and accurate input experience when the button 3 is pressed. When the game requires fast and accurate, it can be switched to the switch key 5.

[0035] Furthermore, the drive assembly 6 is a drive ring 12, which is fixedly connected to one side of the conversion disk 2, and the drive key 7 is rotatably connected to the drive ring 12. Specifically, an arc-shaped groove 13 is provided on the front of the housing 1, and the drive key 7 is slidably placed in the arc-shaped groove 13. The drive key 7 is a cylindrical rod. When in use, by pushing the cylindrical rod to slide from one end of the arc-shaped groove 13 to the other end, the conversion disk 2 is driven by the drive ring 12 to rotate the conductive rubber key 4 and the switch key 5, so that the positions of the conductive rubber key 4 and the switch key 5 are switched. When the cylindrical rod is toggled in the opposite direction, the drive ring 12 is driven to rotate the conversion disk 2 in the opposite direction, so that the positions of the conductive rubber key 4 and the switch key 5 are switched, so that the conductive rubber key 4 and the switch key 5 are reset, and the switching is achieved.

[0036] Furthermore, there are four buttons 3, which are arranged equidistantly around the axis of the conversion disk 2. That is, the four buttons 3 are the ABXY buttons of the game controller, and the ABXY buttons correspond to the four commands in the game. Specifically, there are four conductive rubber keys 4 and four switch keys 5, which are staggered equidistantly around the axis of the conversion disk 2. The four conductive rubber keys 4 or the four switch keys 5 are located directly below the four buttons 3. The four conductive rubber keys 4 and the four switch keys 5 are arranged to correspond to the ABXY buttons of the game controller. That is, in the initial state, the four conductive rubber keys 4 are located directly below the ABXY buttons, so that the ABXY buttons feel relatively stiff when pressed, which is suitable for games that require a stiffer feel. After the conversion, the four switch keys 5 are located directly below the ABXY buttons, which provides a fast and accurate input experience when pressed, which is suitable for games that require fast and accurate input.

[0037] Furthermore, a circuit board 14 electrically connected to the conductive rubber key 4 and the switch key 5 is installed below the conversion disk 2. The conductive rubber key 4 and the switch key 5 are controlled and signal transmitted via the circuit board 14.
