Razer secured 1 granted patent this quarter in Hardware.
The patent describes a game controller trigger mechanism that allows players to toggle between two operating modes using a selector-driven interception member. In the short mode, the trigger actuates a switch with minimal travel, while the full mode provides complete analog control range, enabling both configurations within a single physical component.
Razer's single Hardware patent addresses the need for adaptable trigger behavior in game controllers. The mechanism relies on a movable interception member controlled by a selector switch, allowing the trigger to operate in two distinct ways. When the selector positions the interception member in the trigger's path, pulling the trigger engages it at a first stopping point and then pushes it further to activate a switch, creating a short, crisp action. When the selector removes the interception member from the path entirely, the trigger travels through its full analog range without interruption. This dual-mode design gives players the flexibility to choose between fast digital actuation for competitive play and smooth analog control for precision, all within the same physical trigger assembly.
