Patent ID: 7628700

Claim:
A game controller comprising: a mount member; a trigger member hingedly mounted to the mount member to enable rotation of the trigger member about a trigger pivot point in response to user manipulation of the trigger member; an analogue input device comprising a rotatable control member coupled to the mount member; and a link member, which is coupled to the trigger member and the rotatable control member and operatively mounted to pivot about a link pivot point in response to user manipulation of the trigger member, to translate a rotation of the trigger member about the trigger pivot point to a rotation of the rotatable control member, wherein: the link member is operatively coupled to the trigger member by a post member that slidably engages a slot to enable translation of the rotation of the trigger member about the trigger pivot point to the rotation of the rotatable control member; a longitudinal axis of the slot does not intersect the trigger pivot point or the link pivot point; and the rotatable control member of the analogue input device is an elongated rotatable shaft that is aligned with an axis of rotation of the link member which intersects the link pivot point.
