Shenzhen Qixiong Technology Co.
filed 2 patents this quarter, all in Hardware. The filings focus on gamepad input mechanisms, including a rotating joystick-style D-pad that uses a pivot-and-trigger system instead of traditional vertical-press conductive bodies. The Hardware category also covers a magnetic positioning system for trigger switches that provides dual-mode digital and analog switching without mechanical clips.
Shenzhen Qixiong's 2 Hardware patents rework fundamental gamepad input components to address durability and tactile feedback. The first replaces traditional D-pad mechanics with a joystick-inspired pivot system that converts downward key presses into rotational motion through a joystick body and rotation block, creating a lever-like feel while maintaining a compact cross-key footprint through dual perpendicular rotation axes and spherical mounting grooves. The second tackles trigger switch longevity by substituting conventional elastic clamps with contactless magnetic positioning, which stabilizes the movable member without physical wear while delivering tactile feedback during mode transitions between digital and analog input.
