Abstract
An input device with adjustable height is provided. The input device may be an analog stick. The input device may include a cap and a base. The cap may include a top section and a connector. The connector may include a plurality of magnets over-moulded on the connector. The base may include a stem that defines a space into which the connector may be inserted thereby mounting the cap on the base. The stem may include a first metal structure and a second metal structure over-moulded on the stem. The connector may be held at a first position with regard to the stem when the plurality of magnets attaches to the first metal structure. The connector may be held at a second position with regard to the stem when the plurality of magnets attaches to the second metal structure.
Claims20
An input device, comprising:
- a cap configured to be manipulated to interact with an application program, the cap comprising:
- a top section;
- and
- a connector that extends perpendicularly from a surface of the top section, the connector comprising a plurality of magnets over-moulded on the connector;
- and
- a base comprising a stem, the stem defining a space into which the connector is inserted thereby mounting the cap on the base, the stem comprising:
- a first metal structure over-moulded on the stem;
- and
- a second metal structure over-moulded on the stem,
- wherein the connector is held at a first position with regard to the stem when the plurality of magnets attaches to the first metal structure,
- wherein the connector is held at a second position with regard to the stem when the plurality of magnets attaches to the second metal structure.
A method of operating an input device to interact with an application program, comprising:
- configuring the input device to have a first height, the input device comprising a cap and a base, the cap comprising a connector having a plurality of magnets over-moulded on the connector, the base comprising a stem defining a space into which the connector is inserted thereby mounting the cap on the base, wherein the configuring the input device to have the first height comprises attaching the plurality of magnets to a first metal structure over-moulded on the stem;
- and
- configuring the input device to have a second height, wherein the configuring the input device to have the second height comprises attaching the plurality of magnets to a second metal structure over-moulded on the stem.
