Avetos Design filed 1 patent in H1 2026 across Hardware (1).
The filing covers a mobile game controller design featuring an ultra-thin form factor under 10mm thick. The Hardware patent describes a novel spiral spring mechanism for joystick control, developed for a device that attaches to phones for mobile gaming applications.
On the Hardware side, 1 patent takes on a persistent challenge in mobile gaming peripherals: how to make a joystick-based controller thin enough to fit comfortably in a pocket. The filed application describes a joystick mechanism built around a planar spiral spring that moves laterally rather than requiring the vertical travel that traditional joystick designs depend on. Because the spring operates in a translational, side-to-side manner, the entire assembly stays nearly flush with the controller body, keeping the overall thickness below 10mm. The result is a mechanical approach that sidesteps the depth constraints that have historically made slim game controllers difficult to engineer.
