Shenzhen Qixiong Technology Co.
has 1 filed patent application in Hardware (1). The filing covers a rotating joystick-style D-pad mechanism for game controllers. This Hardware design replaces traditional vertical-press conductive bodies with a pivot-and-trigger system to improve tactile response during gameplay.
Shenzhen Qixiong's single Hardware patent reimagines how directional input works on game controllers. The design converts the downward pressure of a button press into rotational movement through a joystick body and rotation block, creating a lever-like sensation rather than a simple vertical push. By decoupling the actuation plane from the direction of the press, the mechanism allows the D-pad to pivot on dual perpendicular axes while maintaining a compact cross-key footprint. A spherical protrusion sits within a groove to enable multi-directional freedom, delivering analog-style movement within what appears externally as a traditional directional pad.
