Abstract

A game controller includes a holder, two control handles, and an electrical connector. The holder has an accommodation space. The accommodation space is configured to accommodate a mobile device. The control handles are respectively mounted on two opposite sides of the holder. The electrical connector is slidably disposed on one of the control handle. The electrical connector is slidable to be partially located in the accommodation space or withdrawn from the accommodation space.

Claims (13)

1. A game controller, adapted for a mobile device, comprising:

a holder, having an accommodation space and a through hole communicating with the accommodation space, wherein the accommodation space is configured to accommodate the mobile device;

two control handles, respectively mounted on two opposite sides of the holder, wherein one of the control handles has a chamber, and the through hole of the holder is aligned with the chamber; and

an electrical connector, slidably disposed in the chamber, wherein the electrical connector is slidable to be partially located in the accommodation space or withdrawn from the accommodation space through the through hole of the holder.

2. The game controller according to claim 1 , wherein the control handles are respectively and removably mounted on the two opposite sides of the holder.

3. The game controller according to claim 1 , wherein the holder comprises a first support and a second support, the second support is slidably disposed on the first support, the first support and the second support together form the accommodation space, and the second support is slidable relative to the first support to adjust a length of the accommodation space.

4. The game controller according to claim 3 , wherein the first support comprises a first slidable part and a first clamp part connected to the first slidable part, the second support comprises a second slidable part and a second clamp part connected to the second slidable part, the second slidable part is slidably disposed on the first slidable part, and the accommodation space is formed between the second clamp part and the first clamp part.

5. The game controller according to claim 4 , further comprising at least one elastic pad, wherein the at least one elastic pad is removably disposed on the first clamp part or the second clamp part.

6. The game controller according to claim 5 , wherein the at least one elastic pad comprises two elastic pads, and the elastic pads are respectively disposed on the first clamp part and the second clamp part.

7. The game controller according to claim 4 , wherein each of the first clamp part and the second clamp part has a first mount structure, each of the control handles comprises a main body and a plurality of signal input components disposed on the main body, each of the main bodies of the control handles has a second mount structure, the second mount structures are respectively and slidably disposed on the first mount structure of the first clamp part and the first mount structure of the second clamp part, such that the control handles are respectively and slidably mounted on the two opposite sides of the holder.

8. The game controller according to claim 7 , wherein a slidable direction of the electrical connector is substantially perpendicular to slidable directions of the control handles.

9. The game controller according to claim 7 , wherein a transmission wire is disposed in the holder, and the control handle are electrically connected to each other via the transmission wire.

10. The game controller according to claim 9 , wherein the first support of the holder further comprises at least one first electrical contact, the second support of the holder further comprises at least one second electrical contact, the at least one second electrical contact is electrically connected to the at least one first electrical contact via the transmission wire, each of the control handles further comprises at least one third electrical contact disposed on the main body; when the control handles are respectively mounted on the first clamp part and the second clamp part, the third electrical contacts are respectively in electric contact with the at least one first electrical contact and the at least one second electrical contact.
