Two companies received granted patents in Hardware & Devices this month: Shenzhen Qanba Technology Development (1) and Voyetra Turtle Beach (1).
Voyetra Turtle Beach patented technology for customizable response curves in game controllers, allowing players to adjust stick sensitivity, trigger feel, and button behavior. Shenzhen Qanba Technology Development patented an RGB LED joystick system that enables real-time customization of button lighting colors and patterns, featuring power-off memory and modular lever storage.
Voyetra Turtle Beach received 1 patent for hardware-level customization of controller input behavior. The technology allows players to adjust response curves for individual inputs like analog sticks, triggers, and buttons, going beyond simple sensitivity adjustments to enable full curve editing that can be stored directly in the controller's hardware or firmware. This provides more granular tuning than what platform-level remapping typically offers, letting players shape how each input responds to their physical actions.
Shenzhen Qanba Technology Development received 1 patent for an RGB LED joystick with onboard customization controls. Users can independently set the color and on/off state for each button and lever LED group directly through the hardware, without requiring software, and the settings persist after power cycles through a dedicated memory module. The design also includes an unlocking mechanism and built-in storage cavity for spare joystick parts.
