Dongguan Taiqu Technology Co.
has 1 patent filing in Hardware. The filing describes a two-axis foot pedal game controller that uses potentiometers on front-rear and left-right shafts to convert foot tilt into in-game movement. This spring-centered design frees the hands during gameplay and aims to serve players with hand disabilities.
A Hardware patent details the controller's mechanical separation of input axes. The pedal rotates forward or backward about one shaft, while left or right pressure causes the pedal and shaft assembly to swing together about a perpendicular shaft. Each axis drives its own potentiometer, turning physical tilt into electrical signals for game input. The spring mechanisms include pre-adjustment assemblies and optional damping devices, allowing players to customize resistance and response speed. The application notes that existing solutions rely on hand-held controllers, keyboards, and joysticks, positioning this foot-based approach as a departure from conventional directional input methods.
