Claims17
A game pad controller comprising:
- a plurality of non-parallel, elongated touch zones, wherein a plurality of centerline axes corresponding to said plurality of elongated touch zones are non-parallel;
- a plurality of touch sensors, wherein each of said plurality of touch sensors correspond to each of said plurality of non-parallel, elongated touch zones, wherein a touch sensitive area corresponding to each of said plurality of touch sensors extends over each of said plurality of non-parallel, elongated touch zones, wherein each of said plurality of touch sensors outputs a signal when said touch sensitive area is touched;
- and
- coupling means to couple said game pad controller to a device.
1 more element
A game pad controller comprising:
- a plurality of elongated, pressure sensitive zones, wherein each of said plurality of elongated, pressure sensitive zones includes a central axis, wherein said plurality of central axes corresponding to said plurality of elongated, pressure sensitive zones intersect at a central location, wherein each of said plurality of elongated, pressure sensitive zones outputs a signal when a pressure is applied to a surface of said elongated, pressure sensitive zone;
- and
- a gaming system coupler.
