[0036] The following detailed description of some embodiments of this application is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 7As shown, this application provides a game controller directional pad switch assembly, including a directional pad switch assembly 100, comprising a button face shell 10, a button bottom shell 20, a first directional pad 30, and a second directional pad 40. The second directional pad 40 is located in the middle of the button bottom shell 20, the first directional pad 30 is located inside the button face shell 10, and the bottom of the first directional pad 30 is connected to a directional pad bracket 80. A conductive adhesive 50 is connected to one side of the second directional pad 40. A PCB board 60 is located in the middle of the conductive adhesive 50 and the silicone pad 70, including a switch 61 mounted on the outside of the PCB board 60. The middle of the PCB board 60 has a switch 61 and a locking pin hole 62. The silicone pad 70 is located at the bottom of the directional pad bracket 80, and the bottom of the silicone pad 70 has a switch adapter groove 71 adapted to the switch 61. The bottom of the silicone pad 70 is connected to a locking pin 72 adapted to the locking pin hole 63. A connection hole 73 is provided in the middle of the silicone pad 70.

[0038] After adopting the above technical solution, since the first cross key 30 is located inside the button face shell 10 and the second cross key 40 is located inside the button bottom shell 20, during the installation process of the first cross key 30 and the second cross key 40, the second cross key 40 is first snapped into the inside of the button bottom shell 20, and contacts the button positioning post 22 through the button positioning groove 21. At the same time, the button positioning block 22 is snapped into the inside of the button positioning groove 23. The end of the second cross key 40 is passed through the mounting hole 21. Then, the conductive adhesive 50 is snapped into the upper end of the second cross key 40, so that the insertion hole 52 fits on the outside of the insertion post 43, and the conductive adhesive 50 is positioned. Then, the PCB board 60 without the switch 61 is snapped into the upper end of the conductive adhesive 50, and connected through the first snap post 51 and the first snap post hole 62. Finally, the silicone pad 70 is snapped into the PCB board 60. At the top of 0, switch 61 is secured by switch adapter slot 71. Then, the second locking post 72 is secured inside the second locking post hole 63, thereby positioning the silicone pad 70. Next, the cross key bracket 80 is secured inside the button face shell 10, and the support positioning block 82 is aligned with the bracket positioning slot 12. At the same time, the first cross key 30 passes through the first mounting hole 11, and the locking block 31 is secured inside the slot 81, thereby assembling the button face shell 10, the first cross key 30, and the cross key bracket 80. Then, it is placed on the top of the silicone pad 70, and the connecting pin 83 is inserted into the connecting hole 73. At this time, the connecting ear 13 aligns with the fixing hole 24, and is installed and fixed by external screws, thereby fixing the button face shell 10 and the button bottom shell 20. Finally, the first cross key 30 and the second cross key 40 are assembled.

[0039] It should be noted that the first cross key 30 and the second cross key 40 are located at the upper and lower ends of the cross direction key switch assembly 100. When using the switch 61, the first cross key 30 is flipped to the working surface, and when conductive adhesive is required, the second cross key 40 is flipped to the working surface, thus integrating two usage modes in the same game controller.

[0040] In one optional embodiment, the button faceplate 10 has a mounting hole 11 in the middle, and the mounting hole 11 is adapted to the cross key 30. The button faceplate 10 has a bracket positioning groove 12 and a connecting ear 13 inside, and there are two sets of connecting ears 13 symmetrically distributed, which facilitates the correspondence between the button faceplate 10 and the button bottom shell 20 through the connecting ears 13 and the fixing hole 24, and facilitates subsequent connection and fixation.

[0041] In one optional embodiment, the bottom shell 20 of the button has a second mounting hole 21 in the middle, which is adapted to the cross key 40. The bottom shell 20 of the button has a button positioning post 22 and a button positioning groove 23 inside, and there are four sets of button positioning posts 22 arranged in an array. The bottom shell 20 of the button has a fixing hole 24 on the outside that corresponds to the connecting ear 13, which facilitates the connection and fixing of the cross key 40. The second mounting hole 21 assists the top edge of the cross key 40 to prevent the cross key 40 from being misaligned during use.

[0042] In one optional embodiment, the bottom of the cross key 30 is connected to two sets of locking blocks 31, and the locking blocks 31 and the cross key 30 are an integral structure. The cross key 30 can be inserted into the middle of the slot 81 at the upper end of the cross key bracket 80 through the locking blocks 31 to install and fix the cross key 30. The operation is convenient, time-saving and labor-saving.

[0043] In one optional embodiment, the outer side of the second cross key 40 is provided with a second key positioning groove 41 that is adapted to the key positioning post 22, and the outer side of the second cross key 40 is integrally connected with a second key positioning block 42 that is adapted to the first key positioning groove 23. The middle part of the second cross key 40 is connected with a post 43, so that when the second cross key 40 is connected to the key bottom shell 20, the second key positioning groove 41 and the key positioning post 22 are aligned for quick positioning.

[0044] It should be noted that the front of the cross-shaped key switch assembly 100 is cross-shaped key 30, and the back is cross-shaped key 40. After the cross-shaped key switch assembly is flipped, the front is cross-shaped key 40, and the back is cross-shaped key 30.

[0045] Among them, the silicone pad 70 and switch 61 are interchangeable with the conductive adhesive 50 (there are four interchangeable forms). For example: the front and back of the PCB board 60 are both silicone pad 70 plus switch 61, or the front and back of the PCB board 60 are both conductive adhesive 50, or the front of the PCB board 60 is silicone pad 70 plus switch 61 and the back is conductive adhesive 50, or the front of the PCB board 60 is conductive adhesive 50 and the back is silicone pad 70 plus switch 61.

[0046] In one optional embodiment, a locking post 51 is fixedly connected to one side of the conductive adhesive 50. There are four sets of locking posts 51 arranged in an array. The locking posts 51 are adapted to the locking post holes 62. The middle part of the conductive adhesive 50 is provided with a socket 52 that is adapted to the insertion post 43, which facilitates fitting the socket 52 onto the outside of the insertion post 43 and avoids the position of the socket 52 being offset.

[0047] In one optional embodiment, there are four sets of switches 61 arranged in an array. The first locking hole 62 and the second locking hole 63 both penetrate the middle of the PCB board 60, and the conductive adhesive 50 and the silicone pad 70 are installed and fixed between them and the PCB board 60. The silicone pad 70 can be wrapped with the switch 61 through the switch adapter slot 71, so that the adaptability of the switch 61 is high and it is convenient for subsequent pressing and triggering operation of the switch 61.

[0048] In an optional embodiment, the cross key bracket 80 has a slot 81 in the middle that matches the slot 31, a support positioning block 82 that matches the bracket positioning groove 12 is fixedly connected to the outside of the cross key bracket 80, and a connecting post 83 that matches the connecting hole 73 is fixedly connected to the middle of the cross key bracket 80. This facilitates the engagement connection between the cross key bracket 80 and the key face shell 10. By having the support positioning block 82 locked inside the bracket positioning groove 12, positional displacement is avoided when the cross key 30 drives the cross key bracket 80 to trigger the switch 61, thus improving its stability.

[0049] In an optional embodiment, the button faceplate 10 and the button bottomplate 20 are installed and fixed by connecting ears 13, fixing holes 24 and external bolts, which can stably install the button faceplate 10 and the button bottomplate 20, while wrapping the first cross key 30 and the second cross key 40, and then the silicone pad 70 and conductive adhesive 50 are stably snapped together, so that the cross key of the same game controller can switch the conductive adhesive method or the on / off method according to different games.

[0050] It should be noted that the directional key switch assembly 100 can be installed with the handle cover (A) and the flip tray (B) during use, as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 8 This allows the interior of the cross-shaped key switch assembly 100 to be flipped with the handle housing (A) and the flip tray (B), making both sides of the cross-shaped key switch assembly 100 usable. In addition, the conductive adhesive 50 and silicone pad 70 inside the cross-shaped key switch assembly 100 can be used interchangeably without affecting the function.
