US Patent 11192037 Adapter for attachment to a game controller

A video game controller adapter for use with a video game controller includes a housing adapted for attachment to the controller, a game actuator mechanism, and a function control module. The function control module is operatively connectable to the game console for transmitting electronic signals to the game console. The function control module is operatively connectable to the controller for receiving game functions from the controller. The function control module is operatively connected to the at least one game actuator mechanism, and configurable to, in response to actuation of the game actuator mechanism, transmit an adapter game function assigned to the game actuator mechanism to the game console. A method of adding a game control actuation mechanism to a game controller, includes the steps of: attaching the adapter to the game controller; and establishing a connection between the function control module and both of the controller and the game console.
