Quanta Computer received 1 granted patent in H1 2026, covering Hardware (1).
The patent relates to an active force feedback button mechanism designed for gaming joysticks, employing a motor-driven rotary system that pushes buttons back against user input. This Hardware technology creates programmable tactile resistance, enhancing the physical feedback experience during gaming interactions.
1 Hardware patent tackles the physical feel of button input in gaming controllers. Rather than relying on a passive spring to return a button to its resting position, this mechanism uses a motor to actively generate pushback force that can be adjusted on the fly. The motor responds to game context, varying the resistance a player feels depending on what is happening in the game, whether that means mimicking the tension of pulling a trigger or the pressure of pressing an accelerator. That ability to modulate force in real time is what sets this approach apart from conventional button designs.
