Adjustable Gaming Controller Operation Module Height
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional gaming controllers have a fixed size, which fails to accommodate the varying palm sizes and finger lengths of different users, leading to unsatisfactory operating experiences for some users.
Innovation Solution
A gaming controller with an adjustable vertical height operation module, featuring a sliding block mechanism, bolts, and metallic guide tracks, allowing users to customize the height of the operation module to suit their preferences.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the gaming controller has a fixed size design, then the manufacturing and structure are simple, but it cannot accommodate different user palm sizes and finger lengths
Solution Approach 1:
The operation module is designed to be movable relative to the casing through a sliding mechanism. The module can be adjusted along the longitudinal direction of the controller body, allowing users to customize the position according to their hand size and playing preferences. This dynamic adjustment capability resolves the contradiction by providing adaptability without requiring multiple fixed-size controller variants.
Solution Approach 2:
The controller is divided into separable components: the casing and the operation module. The operation module can be independently adjusted relative to the casing, allowing users to customize the configuration. This segmentation enables adaptability while keeping the overall structure manageable and not excessively complex.
2Ease of operation
If the operation module height is fixed, then the device structure is simple, but the operating feel cannot be optimized for different users
Solution Approach 1:
The operation module's position is made adjustable along the longitudinal axis of the controller through a sliding mechanism guided by guide tracks. Users can move the module to different positions and secure it at the desired location, optimizing the operating feel for their specific hand dimensions and playing style without requiring a complex multi-component adjustment system.
Solution Approach 2:
A sliding block mechanism with guide tracks serves as an intermediary between the operation module and the casing. This intermediary structure enables smooth adjustment of the module's position while maintaining structural integrity and providing user-friendly operation without excessive complexity.

AI summary
A gaming controller includes a first sliding block, a second sliding block, an operation module and a bracket. The first and second sliding blocks include first and second tapped holes, respectively. Moreover, first and second through-holes are respectively formed in a bottom plate of the bracket. A first pivotal hole and a second pivotal hole are respectively formed in first and second top structures of the bracket. A first bolt is penetrated through the first through-hole and the first tapped hole and tightened into the first pivotal hole. A second bolt is penetrated through the second through-hole and the second tapped hole and tightened into the second pivotal hole. As the first bolt and the second bolt are rotated, the first sliding block, the operation module and the second sliding block are moved between the first top structure or the second top structure and the bottom plate.
