Accessory usable with different video game controllers

A method for configuring an accessory comprising a body alternately for attachment to either a first video game controller or a second video game controller, wherein the first controller comprises a first controller mating part and the second controller comprises a second controller mating part that is geometrically different from the first controller mating part, the method comprising the steps of:

• (a) a first body adapter and a separate second body adapter;
• wherein each of the first and second body adapters is geometrically configured for releasable attachment, by interference fit, to the body;
• wherein the first body adapter comprises a mating part that is geometrically configured for releasable attachment, by interference fit, to the first controller mating part, at the same time that the first body adapter is attached to the body;
• and
• wherein the second body adapter comprises a mating part that is geometrically different from the mating part of the first body adapter, and geometrically configured for releasable attachment, by interference fit, to the second controller mating part, at the same time that the second body adapter is attached to the body;
• and
• (b) releasably attaching, by interference fit, the body to either the first body adapter, or the second body adapter.

An accessory connectable alternately to either a first video game controller or a second video game controller, wherein the first controller comprises a first controller port for transmitting electronic signals, and the second controller comprises a second controller port for transmitting electronic signals and differing in type from the first controller port, the accessory comprising:

• an accessory port for receiving electronic signals;
• a first accessory port adapter and a separate second accessory port adapter, wherein each of the first and second port adapters is for communicating electronic signals from the controller port to the accessory port, and comprises a first terminal and a second terminal;
• wherein each of the first terminals is configured for releasable connection to the accessory port;
• wherein the second terminal of the first accessory port adapter is configured for releasable connection to the first controller port;
• and
• wherein the second terminal of the second accessory port adapter is different in type from first accessory port adapter, and configured for releasable connection to the second controller port.
