Abstract:
A video game controller can include a body with a top surface and a bottom surface, multiple control inputs (e.g., thumbsticks, directional pads, buttons), and a face plate removably coupleable to the body over the top surface so that the plurality of control inputs extend through the face plate. One or more of the multiple control inputs are removable and replaceable without the use of tools by decoupling the face plate from the body and decoupling the control input from the body without disassembling the body.

Claim (Index 17):
A video game controller kit, comprising:\n a video game controller comprising\n a controller body having a top surface and a bottom surface, one or more compartments accessible through the top surface of the controller body that are configured to removably receive one or more vibration motors, \n a plurality of control inputs comprising one or more interchangeable thumbsticks, a directional pad and a plurality of buttons, the control inputs removably mounted on the controller body through the top surface to releasably connect with electronics disposed within the controller body below the top surface of the controller body, each of the plurality of control inputs operable to control one or more operations of the video game controller, \n a face plate removably coupleable to the controller body over the top surface and having a plurality of openings through which the plurality of control inputs extend when the face place is coupled to the controller body, and \n a paddle disposed on an underside of the controller body and movable relative to the bottom surface of the controller body; and \n a plurality of replacement thumbsticks configured to replace the one or more interchangeable thumbsticks, at least one of the plurality of replacement thumbsticks having a different height or shape, wherein one or more of the plurality of control inputs are removable and replaceable by decoupling the face plate from the controller body and decoupling said one or more of the control inputs from the controller body without disassembling the controller body.
