Abstract:
Described herein are, among other things, handheld controllers having touch-sensitive controls, as well as methods for use of the touch-sensitive controls and methods for assembling the handheld controllers. An example handheld controller may include a top-surface control (e.g., a “trigger button”) that includes a switch, a pressure sensor, and a touch sensor for detecting a presence, location, and/or gesture of a finger on the top-surface control.

Claim (Index 5):
The handheld controller as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the top-surface control comprises a first top-surface control controllable by at least one of a first middle finger or a first index finger of the user, the top cover comprises a first top cover, the touch sensor comprises a first touch sensor configured to provide first touch data indicative of a first touch input, the switch comprises a first switch configured to provide first selection data, and the pressure sensor comprises a first pressure sensor configured to provide first force data, and further comprising:\n a second top-surface control residing on the top surface of the housing and controllable by at least one of a second middle finger or a second index finger of the user, the second top-surface control comprising:\n a second top cover; \n a second touch sensor adjacent to the second top cover and configured to provide, to the one or more processors, second touch data indicative of a second touch input based at least in part on contact between the at least one of the second middle finger or the second index finger and the top cover; \n a second switch residing at least partly beneath the second top cover and configured to provide, to the one or more processors, second selection data indicative of a selection of the second top-surface control based at least on a press of the second top cover by the at least one of the second middle finger or the second index finger; and \n a second pressure sensor coupled to the second switch and configured to provide, to the one or more processors, second force data indicative of an amount of force of the press of the second top cover by the at least one of the second middle finger or the second index finger.
