Abstract

The application provides a game controller and a game console. The game controller comprises a first button electrically connected with a first main board, when the first button is triggered, the first main board can generate specific feedback information, so that a game character can perform specific operations. By arranging the first button at a position at the rear shell of the controller, a user can press the first button through a middle finger or a ring finger, which is convenient for the user to operate with multiple fingers at the same time. Furthermore, by rotating the pressing structure at the junction of the rotating structure and the pressing structure as a pivot to press the first button, the shape of the pressing structure can be adapted to the actual needs of the user, and the user has a better operational experience.

Claims (44)

1. A game controller comprising:

a shell, including a front shell and a rear shell opposite each other;

a first main board arranged in the shell;

a first button electrically connected with the first main board,

wherein a user can drive the first main board to generate feedback information when pressing the first button;

a rotating structure fixed on the rear shell;

a pressing structure comprising opposite first and second end portions and a connecting portion between the first and second end portions,

wherein the connecting portion is rotationally connected with the rotating structure, the first end portion is near the first button, and a user can press the second end portion so that the first end portion presses the first button;

a fixing assembly arranged on the rear shell; and

a second main board arranged in the fixing assembly, wherein the first main board is electrically connected with the second main board and the first button is arranged on the second main board and faces a side of the first main board.

2. The game controller of claim 1 , further comprising:

the fixing assembly comprising a first fixing member and a second fixing member corresponding to the first fixing member,

wherein a fixing cavity is defined in the first fixing member and the second fixing member for installing the second main board and the rotating structure is arranged on the first fixing member.

3. The game controller of claim 2 , further comprising:

the rotating structure comprising a rotating base and a rotating shaft arranged at the bottom of the fixing cavity;

a connecting hole defined in the middle of the connecting portion for the rotating shaft to pass through,

wherein the rotating shaft passes through the connecting hole and the connecting portion can rotate relative to the rotating shaft.

4. The game controller of claim 2 , further comprising:

at least two rotating structures,

wherein a plurality of rotating structures are arranged at intervals, each rotating structure is correspondingly provided with one pressing structure, and the second main board is provided with a plurality of first buttons each corresponding to one pressing structure.

5. The game controller according to claim 4 , further comprising:

the first fixing member arranged on a side of the rear shell away from the front shell; and

the rear shell is provided with a wiring hole for wires electrically connecting the first main board and the second main board.

6. The game controller according to claim 4 , further comprising:

the first fixing member arranged on a side of the rear shell facing the front shell;
