Game controller
An example of a game controller includes within a housing a first substrate on a front surface and a second substrate on a back surface. On a front surface of the first substrate, switches for various operation buttons are provided, and on a back surface of the first substrate, an NFC antenna is provided. Further, on a second substrate, a control circuit for controlling contactless communication performed using the NFC antenna, a control circuit for controlling operation data indicating whether or not the operation buttons are pressed, and the like are placed.
1. A game controller capable of reading data from an external storage device through contactless communication, the game controller comprising:
a housing;
a first electrical substrate in the housing and including a front surface and a back surface, wherein a first electrical component is on the front surface and a second electrical component is on the back surface; and
a second electrical substrate in the housing closer to a back surface of the game controller than the first electrical substrate, wherein
an antenna configured for the contactless communication is on the back surface of the first electrical substrate, and
a switch for detecting an operation on an operation button is on the front surface of the first electrical substrate at a position corresponding to a region included in the housing and surrounded by the antenna.
2. The game controller according to claim 1 , wherein
a control circuit configured to control the contactless communication is on the second electrical substrate.
3. The game controller according to claim 1 , wherein
an analog stick is on a front surface of the second electrical substrate.
4. The game controller according to claim 1 , wherein
when the first electrical substrate and the second electrical substrate are projected onto a plane parallel with a front of the game controller, the projected first electrical substrate overlaps at least a part of the projected second electrical substrate.
5. The game controller according to claim 1 , wherein
when the switch and the antenna are projected onto a plane parallel with a front of the game controller, the projected switch is in a region surrounded by the projected antenna.
6. The game controller according to claim 1 , further comprising a second antenna configured to transmit data to a game apparatus.
7. A game controller capable of reading data from an external storage device through contactless communication, the game controller comprising:
a first substrate provided in a housing; and
a second substrate provided in the housing and placed closer to a back surface of the game controller than the first substrate is, wherein
an antenna used for the contactless communication is placed on the first substrate,
the antenna is placed on a back surface of the first substrate,
a switch for detecting an operation on an operation button is provided on a front surface of the first substrate, and
the switch is placed at a position corresponding to a region included in the housing and surrounded by the antenna.
