Abstract
A finger pad for a game controller includes a first side and a second side opposite the first side. The first side includes a finger interface. The finger interfaces includes a plurality of planar facets. The planar facets are sized and shaped for manual manipulation by a finger. The second side includes a mounting interface.
Claims20
A removable finger pad for a game controller, the removable finger pad comprising:
- a first side including a finger interface, the finger interface including:
- a center planar facet having an up edge parallel to a left-right axis, a right edge parallel to an up-down axis, a down edge parallel to the left-right axis, and a left edge parallel to the up-down axis;
- a cardinal-up planar facet sharing the up edge with the center planar facet and extending at a ramp angle from the center planar facet;
- a cardinal-right planar facet sharing the right edge with the center planar facet and extending at the ramp angle from the center planar facet;
- a cardinal-down planar facet sharing the down edge with the center planar facet and extending at the ramp angle from the center planar facet;
- and
- a cardinal-left planar facet sharing the left edge with the center planar facet and extending at the ramp angle from the center planar facet;
- and
- a second side opposite the first side, the second side including a mounting interface configured to selectively mate with a mounting platform of the game controller to removably affix the removable finger pad to the mounting platform.
