Scorpion Joystick filed 1 patent this quarter in Hardware.
The filing covers a modular joystick architecture that separates the input shaft from the sensing mechanism through a lever linkage system. This Hardware design allows users to swap different spring and elastomer components to customize the tactile feel for gaming and industrial control applications.
The Hardware patent describes a joystick architecture where the user's physical input travels through a lever system before reaching the sensor, rather than connecting directly. A shorter internal lever couples to the sensing element through a spherical component that slides within a shaft bore, allowing engineers to adjust the relationship between how far the user moves the stick and how much the sensor deflects by changing the relative lengths of the levers. The design also supports different biasing components, including coil springs, conical springs, and elastomers, that can be swapped out to change how the joystick feels without replacing the entire mechanism.
