Abstract
An accessibility computer game controller includes a central control button on a round base and peripheral control buttons on the base surrounding the central control button. The peripheral control buttons can have distinct sizes and shapes. An analog stick unit is reciprocatingly engaged with the base and includes a control portion rotatable relative to the base.
Claims19
A device, comprising:
- plural control buttons arranged on a base and operable to send signals to a computerized apparatus when the computerized apparatus is in communication with the device;
- and
- an analog stick unit (ASU) reciprocatingly engaged with the base and comprising a control portion rotatable relative to the base, the ASU being movable sideways relative to the base between an extended position, in which the control portion is laterally spaced from the base, and a near position, in which the control portion is juxtaposed with the base.
A method, comprising:
- generating computer simulation signals to control a computer simulation using control buttons on a base of a control device;
- generating computer simulation signals to control the computer simulation using an analog stick unit (ASU) engaged with the base and comprising a control portion;
- the ASU being movable sideways relative to the base between an extended position, in which the control portion is laterally spaced from the base, and a near position, in which the control portion is juxtaposed with the base.
