Benefits of technology

This inventor describes an improved design for handsheld control units used for communication purposes. They offer better tactile feedback while being comfortable at all times due to their hollow structure containing both pointing buttons and multiple functions such as function keys or alphanumeric characters. Additionally they suggest adding padding between these features to make them less likely to be pressed too hard over longer periods of time. Overall, this innovation improves usable experience compared to existing designs without sacrifices added functionality.

Problems solved by technology

The technical problem addressed by this patented technology relates to improving the comfortableness for users when they hold their devices with them over longer periods without causing pain from rubbing against it during these times.

Embodiment Construction

[0015] Please refer to FIG. 1. The buffering protective handheld controller in the present invention is mainly to provide a buffering protective configuration for direction button 2 and a number of functional buttons 3 on one side of the main unit 1.

[0016] As shown in FIG. 2, the surface of the directional buttons 2 is covered by an elastic ring 22, which is a layer of soft protective pad 23. Further, the bottom of the elastic ring 22 is held by a number of buffering devices 24. The buffering devices 24 can be flexible rubber, spring . . . etc. to reduce holding pressure (a spring in the Figure). A number of molded axles 25 at the bottom connect with an elastic pad 26. Thus, the elastic ring 22 is allowed to move around the top of a slot 27 and avoids jumping off the main unit 1.

[0017] When the user presses the directional button 2 for direction control, the user can acquire better comfortability by direct hand pressing on the protective pad 21 that covers the directional buttons 2.

Abstract

A buffering protective handheld controller, mainly with a buffering protective configuration for direction button and a number of functional buttons on one side of the main unit. The user is allowed to have greater touch area and more comfortability when pressing the button. In addition, under a long period of button-pressing time, the user has finger contact with surrounding buffering devices to reduce pressure. It composes a multiple-layer cushion as a protective mechanism. Further, the handheld main unit has the rigid plastic base in an appropriate hollow shape, which may be enclosed by a sticking soft pad with a proper size. Thus, it can provide a cushion air-bag effect and fits the user's palm in any shape and any size. Particularly, because the user can hold the unit with a firm grasp by fingers, the grasping force is minimized during use.
