Transferring control elements for a gaming session between devices

An input device, comprising:

• a plurality of antennas;
• at least one processor;
• memory in electronic communication with the at least one processor;
• and
• instructions stored in the memory, the instructions being executable by the at least one processor to cause the input device to:
• transmit input commands for a gaming session to a gaming system via a first antenna of the plurality of antennas;
• maintain a plurality of device profiles associated with a plurality of client devices, wherein the plurality of device profiles includes a first device profile associated with a second antenna on the input device;
• identify a trigger condition associated with a desire to transfer control of a control element from the input device to a first client device from the plurality of client devices based on the second antenna detecting proximity of the first client device within a threshold distance of the input device;
• and
• cause a transfer of the control element for the gaming session to the first client device based on identifying the trigger condition.

A non-transitory computer readable media storing instructions thereon that, when executed by at least one processor, causes an input device to:

• transmit input commands for a gaming session to a gaming system via a first antenna;
• maintain, on the input device, a plurality of device profiles associated with a plurality of client devices, wherein the plurality of device profiles includes a first device profile associated with a second antenna on the input device;
• identify a trigger condition associated with a desire to transfer control of a control element from the input device to a first client device from the plurality of client devices based on the second antenna detecting proximity of the first client device within a threshold distance of the input device;
• and
• cause a transfer of the control element for the gaming session to the first client device based on identifying the trigger condition.
