Cheng Uei Precision Industry filed 1 patent this quarter in Hardware (1).
The application covers a joystick assembly design that employs injection-molded cable integration and conductive soft plastic materials. This approach aims to simplify the manufacturing process for gaming controller components by reducing assembly complexity and optimizing production costs.
The Hardware patent addresses manufacturing efficiency in gaming controller components through a redesigned joystick assembly process. The design incorporates cable installation directly into the injection molding phase of the key cap production, eliminating what would otherwise require a separate assembly step. The approach also replaces traditional conductive elements with conductive soft plastic material in the key cap itself, further streamlining the component structure and reducing the number of discrete parts needed in the final assembly.
