Abstract

A game controller includes a first control handle and a second control handle. The first control handle includes a first handle portion and a recess mount portion disposed on the first handle portion. The second control handle includes a second handle portion and a protrusion mount portion disposed on the second handle portion. The protrusion mount portion is slidably accommodated in the recess mount portion. When the game controller is in a combined mode, the first handle portion and the second handle portion are combined with each other for being cooperated with a game host. When the game controller is in a separated mode, the first handle portion is separated from the second handle portion so as to form an installation space between the first handle portion and the second handle portion for a mobile device to be installed therein.
