Claims22
A game controller for a game, comprising:
- a controller housing, wherein a plurality of function buttons is provided on said controller housing for operating a game character of said game;
- a management module received in said controller configured to process data which is generated by said function buttons and processing Communication with a game platform of said game linked to said game controller;
- a locating device linked to said management module configured to accurately locate said game character in said game, wherein said locating device defines a locating area and comprises a sliding frame mounted on said locating area, and a displacement sensor moving within said locating area and while an orientation of said displacement sensor is remained unchanged, wherein said sliding frame comprises a first guider track and two parallel second guider tracks, wherein said two guider second tracks are mounted on two opposite side edges of said locating area, wherein two ends of said first guider track are slidably connected with said two second guider tracks to form a “H” shape structure, so that said first guider track is able to move along said two second guider tracks, wherein said displacement sensor is slid along said first guider track such that said displacement sensor is freely moved within said locating area via a sliding movement between said displacement sensor and said first guider track and a sliding movement between said first and second guider tracks, and wherein said locating device further comprises a touch sensor switch mounted on said displacement sensor configured to control a working condition of said displacement sensor, such that said displacement sensor is activated when there is a touch of said touch sensor switch.
A locating device for a game controller having a controller housing to control a game, comprising:
- a management module, the management module being received in said controller housing, and processing communication with a game platform of said game linked to said game controller;
- a locating area defined on said controller housing;
- a displacement sensor linked to said management module and being moved within said locating area for accurately locating a game character in said game, wherein an orientation of said displacement sensor is remained unchanged when said displacement sensor is moved within said locating area, and wherein a touch sensor switch is mounted on said displacement sensor configured to control a working condition of said displacement sensor, such that said displacement sensor is activated when there is a touch of said touch sensor switch;
- and
- a sliding frame, the sliding frame mounted on said locating area, comprising a first guider track and two parallel second guider tracks, wherein said two guider second tracks are mounted on two opposite side edges of said locating area, wherein two ends of said first guider track are slidably connected with said two second guider tracks to form a “H” shape structure, so that said first guider track is able to move along said two second guider tracks, and wherein said displacement sensor is slid along said first guider track such that said displacement sensor is freely moved within said locating area via a sliding movement between said displacement sensor and said first guider track and a sliding movement between said first and second guider tracks.
