Abstract
An example of a game controller includes within a housing a first substrate on a front surface and a second substrate on a back surface. On a front surface of the first substrate, switches for various operation buttons are provided, and on a back surface of the first substrate, an NFC antenna is provided. Further, on a second substrate, a control circuit for controlling contactless communication performed using the NFC antenna, a control circuit for controlling operation data indicating whether or not the operation buttons are pressed, and the like are placed.
Claims7
A game controller capable of reading data from an external storage device through contactless communication, the game controller comprising:
- a housing;
- a first electrical substrate in the housing and including a front surface and a back surface, wherein a first electrical component is on the front surface and a second electrical component is on the back surface;
- and
- a second electrical substrate in the housing closer to a back surface of the game controller than the first electrical substrate, wherein
- an antenna configured for the contactless communication is on the back surface of the first electrical substrate, and
- a switch for detecting an operation on an operation button is on the front surface of the first electrical substrate at a position corresponding to a region included in the housing and surrounded by the antenna.
