Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of game input devices, specifically a game controller button module and a game controller. Background Technology

[0002] Currently available button modules on the market include two separate, interchangeable, and detachable types, as well as a one-piece flip-type button module. The one-piece flip-type button module is not detachable, although it allows switching between different button modes on the front and back. For example, it allows changing different button types (rubber-coated buttons versus mechanical buttons), but it cannot change the button characters for different platform controllers. While separate, interchangeable, and detachable button modules allow for button module replacement, their relatively small size makes storing excess modules problematic, easily leading to their loss.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment discloses a game controller button module, including:

[0027] Button panel A (4) and button panel B (8) are snapped together to form a single structure. One button panel has an outwardly protruding snap-fit ​​protrusion, and the other panel has a matching slot, enabling the snap-fit ​​between button panels A and B. (See details below.) Figure 3 As shown.

[0028] Please continue reading. Figure 3 Both button panels A and B have button holes, housing a front button 5 (located on button panel A) and a back button 9 (located on button panel B). The front panel (A panel mode) has four buttons with different characters, and the back panel (B panel mode) also has four buttons with different characters. (Note: The four different character buttons apply to PC controllers / NS controllers / PS controllers.)

[0029] Two button PCBs (not shown in the figure) are located between button panel A and button panel B, and conductive adhesive is provided on the outside of the button PCBs. This part is the same as the existing handle buttons, and will not be described in detail here.

[0030] The charging port is fixedly installed on one side of the button panel and is used to provide power to the buttons.

[0031] In this embodiment, the buttons on button panels A and B, from top to bottom in a clockwise direction, are: Y, B, A, and X. That is, the buttons on the two panels are symmetrically arranged with respect to their contact surfaces. The Y, B, A, and X buttons on button panels A and B can also be staggered. For example, the buttons on button panel A, from top to bottom in a clockwise direction, are Y, B, A, and X, while the buttons on button panel B, from top to bottom in a clockwise direction, are A, X, B, and Y. The function keys on the two panels are staggered, but the position of the buttons remains the same; only the corresponding function keys differ. In other words, the buttons on button panels A and B are symmetrically staggered. The specific position and order of the function keys can be customized according to different usage habits; the possible button orders are not exhaustive here.

[0032] The front button 5 and the back button 9 can be designed with a guide plate and a mechanical plate respectively (or both the front and back can be guide plates or both can be mechanical plates). The guide plate is the common silicone button on the market, and the mechanical plate is the common tactile switch / micro switch on the market. Both are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0033] The game controller used to install the aforementioned button module was also disclosed, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it specifically includes a handle face shell 1, and a notch 2 for installing a button module is provided on one side of the handle face shell 1.

[0034] The bracket 3 is slidably installed in the recess 2, and its upper part is used to place the button module. The bracket 3 has a drawer-type structure similar to an L-shaped decoupled design, such as... Figure 1 As shown, a placement slot 10 matching the button is provided at its bottom. When the button module is placed on the space 3, the button is located in the placement slot 10 to ensure that the button is suspended and will not be pressed or triggered.

[0035] Charging port 7 is fixedly installed on the side wall of recess 2, as shown in the following figure. Figure 1 As shown, it can contact the charging port on the button panel to provide power to the button module.

[0036] Please see Figure 1 A support bar 6 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the recess 2. When the bracket 3 and the button module are placed inside the recess 2, the support bar 6 contacts the bottom of the bracket 3 to support the bracket 3, so that the button is suspended and provides space for the button to be placed, thus preventing the bottom button from being pressed and triggered when the button is pressed.

[0037] Continue reading Figure 1 A buckle is fixedly installed on one side of the bracket 3, and the edge of the buckle has an upward protrusion. The side wall of the recess 2 has a card interface that matches the buckle, so that the bracket 3 and the recess 2 can be inserted into each other. The width of the recess 2 in the direction of movement of the bracket 3 is greater than the length of the bracket 3, and the excess length is just greater than the width of the buckle or card interface. When the bracket 3 is removed to replace the button module on top, the bracket 3 is slid outward. When the bracket 3 moves to the edge of the recess 2, the buckle and card interface just separate, and the bracket 3 and the button module can be removed upward, so that the button module can be replaced.

[0038] When installing the bracket 3 and the button module, first assemble the button module on the bracket 3, then place the bracket 3 in the recess 2, and then push the bracket 3 inward so that the buckle engages with the card interface. At the same time as the engagement, the power supply port 7 contacts the charging port. When the bracket 3 and the button module are installed, power can be supplied to the button.

[0039] In this embodiment, the other parts of the handle are the same as those in the prior art, and will not be described in detail here.

[0040] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
