Huizhou Vkb Technology Co.,Ltd has 1 granted patent in Hardware.
The patent describes a game joystick with an internal gimbal mechanism positioned within the grip, enabling precise hand control of translation axes while allowing shoulder movements to manage throttle functions. This configuration addresses ergonomic challenges in spacecraft simulation controllers.
VKB's single Hardware patent reimagines the flight controller by relocating the gimbal from its traditional base position into the grip itself. This structural change separates how the body interacts with different control axes: wrist and forearm movements manage translational motion through the internal gimbal, while the shoulder drives throttle through push-pull arm movements. Magnetic induction sensors capture both axis types, and user-adjustable damping across all 3 mechanical axes allows pilots to tune the feel. The design targets a persistent challenge in spacecraft simulation controls, where existing HOTAS systems and omnidirectional throttles force uncomfortable compromises between precision and ergonomics.
