Multimode controller for video games

摘要

The invention relates to a controller, in particular for video games, capable of operating according to at least a gear selection mode and a brake mode. According to the invention, said controller comprises a support casing, a lever mounted on said support casing and capable of pivoting from a neutral position around at least an axis, and a detector to detect, in the gear selection mode, at least two different positions of the lever obtained by the pivoting thereof from the neutral position and, in the brake mode, an angular value corresponding to a braking force required by a user by the pivoting of the controller lever according to said axis.

1. A controller, in particular for video games, capable of operate according to at least a gear selection mode comprising:
a support casing, a lever mounted on said support casing and at least capable of pivoting, from a neutral position, around a first axis (Y) and around a second axis (X), the second axis (X) being substantially right angled with respect to the first axis (Y), and detection means capable of detecting, in the gear selection mode, at least two different positions of the controller lever obtained by pivoting the controller lever around at least said first axis (Y) from the neutral position in at least a gear selection mode direction in which the controller lever moves substantially at right angle to a gear selection mode neutral row, and, characterized in that said controller is capable of operate according to a brake mode, and, in that, in the brake mode, the controller lever is capable of pivoting around said second axis (X) in a brake mode direction, in such a way that, in said brake mode direction, the controller lever moves substantially along said gear selection mode neutral row.
